Hello everybody! I was wondering what free virus protection programs you would recommend. I have been using MalwareBytes, Avast!, and Spybot Search and Destroy, but I was thinking about possibly changing programs. Let me know what your favorite FREE virus protection program is and why! Thanks! :)

Hi! Avast seems to work well for me as I have not had any problems ion a long time. But it wasn't free. I paid about $30 for a year. I'm satisfied and will definitely use their service again in the coming year. After all wasting my time trying to clean my computer of viruses is a big time waster and a pain.

Ok, thank you for your response and input! I'm thinking about quitting avast though and trying something else....

Avast has been great for me and I'll stick to it. The cost is cheap for peace of mind. They update regularly. I wish you the best!

i would definitely recommend avg free antivirus. i have been using it for years and have never had any problems. also if you need a good free firewall i would recommend zone alarm. i have had it about a month now. a friend recommended it to me. it's nice to know that you're safe when on the computer and all.

Thank you, that was very helpful! I will indeed check out AVG! I'll probably end up getting it off CNET's download.com or something... Thanks a lot! :)
