Hello,
Just restored my old PC and upgraded it to Win7 for work.
Basically looking for free anti-virus software and just wanting someone help on choosing a decent piece of software and wondering which one(s) are currently worth D/Ling.
Josh.
Microsoft security essentials is pretty good
I'm using avast! free since I had XP
Was always satisfied with it
I use avast, it has never picked a single thing up, although it has blocked a few malicious URLs. Either I have no viruses whatsoever or something's overridden Avast and made it return clear results
Malwarebytes is good too.
Been solved, went with Comodo Internet Security.
Yeah, i would recommend Microsoft Security Essentials, together with Commodo Firewall.
I bloody hate comodo, it is soo annoying
I use Avast on all 4 of my machines, love it

True but if you have an infestation download the free trial and destroy everything like I do
If you have Comodo you don't need MBAM to destroy everything in the first place unless you're a complete idiot and go on blatantly virus infested sites or download them yourself.
Good shout Josh
That's now 4/5 of the TC Management team who use Comodo
Never ever bothered with anti-virus, cause more headaches than they solve.
Just watch what sites you go on
same as Nitros. My only complaint about avast, as it's hard to add exceptions to certain files. It thought a vanilla copy of Nascar 2003 was a virus.
Avast aswell. Does the job while never annoying me with useless pop ups or sounds.

Yep great Anti virii scanner. I have used its successor for the last 4 years... Eset Smart Security (Not free... but worth the pennys)
