I would personally recommend using AVG which you can download for free. My father-in-law uses avast and he loves it. He has been in the computer business for quite some time now. He got started with them back in 1975. He builds them, programs them, and knows pretty much everything about them. Avast is the one that he recommends. On my behalf though, I have been using AVG for the past fours now and have never had a virus problem with my computer with the exception of one time and I blame myself not AVG because I didn't update the program for quite a while and that may have been the problem. Anyway I hope this helps you out.

I prefer Quickheal Antivirus, it's very effective on spyware or adware so i like it.

Malwarebytes Anti-malware. You can also try Bitdefender. AVG is good but consumes a lot of virtual memory. It has lots of processes that tend to take up huge amount of memory.

The top 3 Free Antivirus are: 1.Avira 2.Avast 3.AVG Avira is the best of the three because it uses the least system resources(so its the fastest) and has the best detection.It detects viruses which remain undetected by AVG. Avira can even beat Kaspersky as far as detection is concerned. Avast uses the most res,but is better than AVG in terms of its search results.

Well, I was also using kaspersky for a long time, but I'm not satisfied with its performance. Now I'm using ESET NOD32 Smart security. it ensures full safety,easy to update. It will detect almost all the virus known in the world. So, I would also recommend this antivirus to you. I'm sure that you will be satisfied with its working. It will also detect most of the unwanted potential programs / softwares whch may harm our system. Happy mylottng!!
