Hands down the best free antivirus program that I have used is AVG free, by Grisoft. Great updates, quick action too.

Try http://www.avast.com Its free for 30 days, and free for a long time coming if you decide to get a free license for personal use. When it runs out, just get a new personal license for free.\n\nIts really good, providing many forms of protection for P2P, Email and standard protection at real time. Definitions are automatically updated and are updated regularly. The real-time protection stops viruses as they are detected, without having to manually start a scan.\n\nI've used it for a while, no problems caused by the application.\n\n[It even updated while I was typing this answer...it's that good]

www.safer-networking.de\n\nSpyBot Search and Destroy - (free) download, install, run, update, immunise, then check for errors and have your jaw drop to the floor when it's done 5-10 minutes later, clean them all out and rest easy\n\ndon't forget to periodically re-check though. getting a good antivirus on board, a firewall, and something like the aforementioned lavasoft ad-aware wouldn't be a bad idea either.

Try shareaza, you can link into many other p2p sites. I've used it for years and I've never had any trouble or viruses.

I have a few Free Antivirus programs I can reccomend:\n\nhttp://www.avast.com/ avast!\nhttp://www.free-av.com/ AntiVir HBEDV\nhttp://free.grisoft.com/doc/ AVG Free Edition\n\nAlso, if your willing to experiment:\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/windows/onecare/default.mspx Windows OneCare Beta\n\nIf you feel like paying -- I am VERY satisfied with the current version of Norton Systemworks.  (http://www.symantec.com/home_homeoffice/products/system_performance/nsw2006 ).  This program is worth every cent, you won't be sorry!

I would say anything using the Gnutella network... i.e limewire, etc. Who uses p2p programs now with bit torrents available? P2P = easy way to get virus's, junk.

go to this link\nhttp://www.download.com/Best-free-security-and-spyware-software/1200-2023_4-5163183.html?tag=hed\n\nCNET is a really, really, really good site with very knowledgeable people, i would trust their decision. I personally have:\nNorton Antivirus (costs money)\nMicrosoft Defender (Free)\nZone Alarm Firewall (Free)\nand AVG antivirs free edition (Free)\nand i havnt had any problems

The answer here is technically "none". Any and all true P2P applications can receive infected files from other users because P2P is not monitored or moderated in any way.\n\nMy advise would be to stick to a trusted anti-virus program and no less than two anti-spyware programs. Another habit that you might want to look into, is to only deal with P2P applications that have some sort of forum system where users can alert one another of infected files...BitTorrent sites and UseNet (newsgroups) are the first that come to mind.

The list of anti-virus proggie grow every day.  New companies are getting into the internet security business, all claiming to be better than one another.  I repair PCs for a living, and I deal with virii and spyware on a daily basis.  It is a big help to me to be able to have programs at my fingertips that will help me get the job done.  The top 4 names are:\nNorton\nMcAfee\nAVG\nAvast!\n\nHere's how they break down, in my experience:\nNorton-  This is an okay product if you have a very powerful computer.  It's removal ability is great, but it sometimes lets things slip by unnoticed.  Very slow in safe mode, which is the ideal way of removing an infection that is already on the computer.  There is a cost for the license.\n\nMcAfee-  This product is average in every way.  Nothing outstanding about it, but it is still better than Norton...barely.  Again, tough to run in safe mode.  Uses a lot of resources.  There is a fee for renewing the agreement.\n\nAvast!-  has a free edition.  It is one of the better suites availible for free.  The pro edition is well rounded and very trustworthy.  Runs pretty well in safe mode.  Great detection, and removal.  The pro edition has a license fee, but it is actually worth paying for.  Maybe the 2nd best in the PC world.\n\nAVG- The free edition of AVG is the number one anti-virus program in the world for one reason alone:  IT WORKS!!!  It is the easiest to operate, the fastest, most thorough and works as well in safe mode as it does in active mode.  The updates are free forever.  There is also a pro edition which put a few more excellent tools at your fingertips.  There is a cost for pro, but like Avast, it is well worth every dime you spend.  \n\nThere you have it.  But, a few points to ponder before I go:  Any anti-virus software will be dramatically improved by your surfing habits.  Things like not allowing active script to run, accomplished in Internet Options>advanced.  Always type in the addresses in your browser instead of clicking links in your email.  Watch where you surf, and how you download from Peer-to-Peer networks like Gnutella.  I would suggest as your first move to switch your browser to Mozilla Firefox.  I have NEVER contracted a virus while surfing since switching to Firefox, and neither has anyone that I have switched to it from the "Big Blue E".  Good luck, and happy surfing!

I agree with you about not running 2 at once. I've not done a head to head comparison, but I do use NOD32. I find it less resource intense than some of the their scanners I've used and I'm impressed with how frequently they update the signature file. The interface needs some work though as it's not as intuitive as other programs.

Check out NetSend -- it seems to work pretty well and at last check it was free shareware.

that is not an answerable question. Because firewalls and antivirus programs are not the same and they detect different things, but i must say some great free ones are ZoneAlarm Firewall & Avast! Antivirus\n\n~matt
