Which free anti-virus software is the best?

archon309 @archon309 (404) • Philippines 14 Jul 10

I can't afford to invest on a good anti-virus like kaspersky or bitdefender. Do you know any good anti-virus that's available for free? I used to use AVG free, but it seems to have become a bloatware and avira seems to catch a lot...

What kind of legal issues am I facing?

Bella75 @nixxi76 (3191) • Canada 6 Jun 10

mickeydurkin I think some people actually get joy out of putting a person down. The human condition of negativity and greed is a hard personality to dissect. Some people suck and only open hand cracks across the face are the remedy for the situation. Smack, crack, and stop...

mickeydurkin Yes harry potter needs to end. Harry's got to be around thirty now. I even heard he has a child on the way. Just kidding, but the series should end. It had a good run. Plus harry potter and twilight in the same decade, we're all doomed.
