For me it has to be Avast - but then again most of you will already know that :lol:

Apologies if we haven't listed your favourite, just reply with the name and we'll add it ;)

Another vote for Avast from myself. I am presently using Microsoft Security Essentials and I'm impressed ... so far. :lol:

I actually use two different anti-virus programs in a dual boot system. Coincidentally, both have already been mentioned. I use Avast in Vista and MSE in Win 7.

I'm quite satisfied with Emsisoft antimalware guard & scanner.
Also known as A2-scanner.

I use Comodo Internet Security Premium Free as a combo Firewall/Antivirus.

Like many free solutions, it has some hiccups in the heuristics department but nothing too dramatic.


And it now incorporates a sandbox which I use from time to time.

Microsoft Security Essentials.

Used Comodo in the past and really enjoyed it.
Avast was also well done as I had used it as well.
Also used AVG extensively and liked it too.


Many others only seemed to trash my O.S., screw up my software, and leave me and RegEdit on our own manually uninstalling the crap -- not fun!

Another for Avast. But I have to say that antivirus is the one thing I don't entrust to get done by freeware/shareware. The one thing I'd recommend you purchase. Of course the one thing I recommend you buy I got for free. My favorite of the professional software is Norton. I haven't tried many other professional ones except McAfee which I also got for free. Both are professional but free if you go with Comcast. (I think Comcast is only in the States but I wouldn't know.) Of those two I'd recommend Norton over McAfee. I'll keep this post short as I've been haunting the forums with prolific posting. If your interested in why I'd recommend Norton and why I won't recommend McAfee I can do reviews on the two as they technically are free, just not free to everyone, and thus not freeware.
