Can somebody please help me find a good antivirus software? I am currently using something called computer associates but a lot of viruses are still around. My friend has something called malware, but she isn't satisfied with it either. What's the best thing you know, and where do you get it? Thanks for the help.

Hi. I'll advice you to have two anti viruses running alternatively on you system in close span of time. I mean first use Anitvir, install it, have a full system scan, un install it, install AVG free and do the same with this one. After you have scanned your system with both of the programs it will be very much free from any kind of infection. Then you can keep either of the two for active protection. Do remember to do the installation, scan and uninstallation once a fortnight at least, because in this age of networking keep infections is tough and is important.

Hi iam using bitdefender antivirus and is also working well. Some of my friends told tat avira is also fine .According tome no antvirus removes all viruses becaz many are generating newly daily and loaded into system in many cases Unless u use original s/w we cant resolve viruses.

Hi polaris714 Why do not you use bittorrent or Kaspersky antivirus.I personally have used both of them and they are really good and easy to use.Give these a try and for sure you would not regret.

The best free antivirus software is avira antivir personal edition which i'm using.It has regular updates from the internet.it is good in detecting rootkits.Also it has a scheduler to scan computer everyday.It also has a guard to tell you when you insert an infected dvd or pen drive.You can download the antivirus from the link http://www.filehippo.com/download_antivir/
