Are there any good FREE anti-virus programs out there?
I have Norton, but it kinda sucks. I just downloaded Spyware Doctor, but I found out you need to pay. Please give me the link to download a good free anti-virus program.

AVG Free, Avast.

Spyware Doctor is only for spyware not virus’s.
AVG is a free virus protection program

AVAST
Avast is better than AVG cause it has better protection
http://www.download.com/Avast-Home-Edition/3000-2239_4-10019223.html?tag=mncol
Once installed and you can go to the Avast website and download ‘skins’ for its scanner….Don’t forget you have to register at the Avast website to obtain a key which gets you avast free for a year ( after a year you just sign up for another key , avast warns you when your key is about to run out )
Don’t forget to uninstall Norton , never have 2 antivirus programmes running on your PC

AVG free

I have it and it works perfectly. Just as good as Norton if not better.
The is a version of AVG that you can pay for but its not much different than the free ver.

If you have Norton you might as well use it until it runs out. I think the free Avast is the best free Anti-Virus but i prefer to buy ESET Nod 32.
I use Ad-Aware and Malwarebytes to supplement Nod32 and are both free to download and use.

i have 2 different programs on my laptop. AVG Free and Norton. So far i have never gotten a virus that wasnt caught by one of them.

Avast Home Edition:
Avast home edition is free and effective, it protects your PC from infected webpages, scans your downloads and emails for viruses (AVG free does neither) and has built in anti-rootkit and anti-spyware, plus it gives you the option to run a boot scan, there are very few anti-virus’s that can do this paid or otherwise and this is free.
Avast works for 60 days from installation after which you will need to register to get your free product key this is valid for a year after which you just register for another free key, so it always free.
I use Avast along side Comodo firewall both are free, light on memory and have been independently tested and proven to be more effective then big names like Mcafee.
Avast: http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html
Comodo: http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/
People often recommend AVG but Avast is far better:
On AVGs official website it states that their free anti-virus software does not protect you from “poison” webpages or scan downloads and emails for viruses (Avast free edition does all 3), I’ve also tested both AVG and Avast using the EICAR test viruses, AVG allowed all the viruses onto the computer without a single warning Avast either blocked them instantly or shorty after preventing all from running, Avast is much lighter and offers far superior protection.

Not free, but very cheap for how good it is; Nod 32

avira (www.free-av.com)
comodo AV (www.comodo.com) are two others
I personally use Comodo as it has a free internet security suite (firewall/antivirus). I also use Avira for on demand scanning while Comodo is always running.
