Avast is a good anti-virushttp://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-… [Free home edition]
Avira is also a good anti-virushttp://www.free-av.com
Windows Defender is recommended in addition for FREE real-time spy-ware protection.http://www.microsoft.com/windows/product…
Download SuperAntiSpyware for user initiated scanshttp://www.superantispyware.com/superant…
Remember to only have one anti-virus installed on your PC
it is not open source, but it is free and excellent software called Avast antivirus home edition http://in.youtube.com/watch?v=41BmUkPlMh…
whereas Clamwin is the open source antivirus
i’ve tried AVG and i dont like it.
the BEST anti virus program i think is Kaspersky. it updates pretty regularly and you can download free keys for it.
Clam win is the only open source anti virus that I’m aware of.http://www.clamwin.com/
Avast is also free for home usershttp://www.download.com/Avast-Home-Editi…
avg is free and good
Clam win is also good and it is open sourcehttp://www.clamwin.com/content/view/18/4…
Check out these open source applications at http://iwo.kadziela.com/blog/open-source…
Free:
Bitdefender, Avast or AVG
(free = does not do live scanning)
Paid:
Norton (only for people who can set it up properly)
Kapersky (a bit easier to setup)
Bitdefender (very easy to setup)
hope you are using windows. Then go:http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-…

my favorite anti virus which is free is avira anti virus
Kaspersky….u can have a free trial for 6months… just go to kasperskyindia.com and submit ur details…u get the kaspersky antivirus and key in ur e-mail…
Hi,
NOD32 is best but not free. AVG is free and good

The best FREE anti virus software is AVG Free, (http://free.avg.com/). However if you do wish to fork out some cash, i recommend McAfee
Hi,
I have myself to have AVG to be the best. But i’m sure someone else can tell you more than me. But thats my suggestion.
