Suggest Free Anti-Virus Other Than AVG

Post by :FI:Murph » Thu Dec 15, 2011 7:11 am

I've been using AVG for years but have started having a problem where it won't update or re-install. I may need to try some other program- any suggestions?

Avast has served me well.

MS Essentials and Avast are both excellent. Stopped using AVG about a year ago.

I am happy to use Avira.

Ms Essentials is fine, i recommend it to some people and it is free, also for small enterprises (!)
