Avast Antivirus is the one I personally have used for a long time, and it's the one my boyfriend uses for his work. I love it, it's always been incredibly reliable. You can download a free version on their site.

Generally you do not want to have more than 1 antivirus program running as they'll often try to compete with each other or tell you the other one is malicious.

Yes, it is bad to run two different kinds. Once that one runs out uninstall it. As for free ones there's lots of different options and it all comes down to preference and which you like best really.

AVG - http://download.cnet.com/AVG-Anti-Virus ... d=11014801

Kaspersky - http://www.kaspersky.com/virusscanner

Avast - http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

Those are the three most popular ones I can think of, off the top of my head.

Veph beat me to it.

Also of course rule number one. ALWAYS BE SURE TO UPDATE. <3

I use AVG - I find it very easy to use and it locks virus's away in a vault I can dump :3

I'd vouch for AVG or Avast! Though I've had each of them catch something the other scanner wouldn't which is kind of weird.

Avast! is amazing! I use it on my laptop and it has saved me MANY headaches. I would definitely try it out.

I use Kaspersky Internet Security. When i'm too cheap to pay for KIS, I use NOD32.

Those are the only two I ever consider using.

Hi all. I just got Avast anti virus thanks to ppl saying how good it is. Im currently on the 30day free trial and was wondering how or if i can keep the good version of avast for free after the 30 free trial. I cant really afford to pay for it so free stuff is all i have to work with. Any help would be great Thank you for your time.

They should have a free version of the software.

Ah I must have gotten the wrong one then thanks for the help.

No, there is a free version and then there is a trial version. The trial lets you try out the full version, where as the free doesn't have as many features but will stop alot of stuff from reaching your computer. I have Avast and Veph said, it's an amazing Anti Virus program.

So will the free version still keep my comp safe or is that just the full version you have to pay to keep? Sorry dont know much about anti virus stuff.
