Best free PC Antivirus software

LookintheMirrorKIS a resource hog-thats news to me.But all you lot can keep using your Avast,Avg and the like.I hope you dont get any future problems LOL.

All suites are resource hogs compared to standalone programs, thats one of the reasons I dont like them. The other main reason is security. If someone manages to compromise one, you don't want to give them a back door into the rest.

LOL Loony,Ive been using computers since Windows 3.1.I used to run my own computer repair business so I do know quite a bit.But Im noticing people are chipping in with advice,and the topic ends up going backwards,which gets on my nerves.So Im not going to contribute any more to any security advice.I may just have a laugh with a few of my pals instead-or you or Seph can just delete this account.

Account deletion = no primary RomU DL account.

Funnily enough, so have I. I still have a windows 3.1 machine in fact.

I miss Win 3.1 and the kickass Jetfight game that was on my SCSI drive ;-;

Well do you think that qualifies you to condemn Norton Antivirus
and besides the best windows version in my opinion was Windows 95

Screw antivirus, it's time for "OS talk with RomUlation!" XD

Yeah Norton is fabulous.Im away to drive to PC World to nail that offer of it for £22.99.Ill soon find out if I pay them,or they pay me,as it didnt say which in the advert LOL.

just try Avira

Win95 0wns and its a shame that i now have win7 as my retro win95 PC crashed.
And i got avast now

win95 was awful, general protection fault every few minutes. the best of the 9x series had to be 98SE.

Disgusting Windows 98SE sucked balls

Ah, randomly deleting files out of the System folder while running, good times :}

i liked 95 so there.

just buy a anti virus lol,
my dad brought home a flyer and it had mcafee antivirus 6 bucks.
i got kaspersky internet security on 3 pc's.
its way better then norton, but i wish it didnt tell me if i download something say it thinks its a virus

mcafee isnt very good either.

norton thinks everything is a virus >_>

Avast Antivirus w/ COMODO firewall is the best combo in the world, if you're alright with slow virus scans. AVG is okay... lots of false positives. Kapersky is pretty good.Norton 2010 isn't bad, it doesn't suck as much as 2006-2009. It's still a resource hog though, and thinks everything is trying to hack my computer. I told my parents to trash it, but then they got 2010 for free.

norton = evil
As for Avast, isn't there a reset to defaults button anywhere? Not sure why, but it seems to be trying to scan everything often, as my pc is slowing down a bit when I copy or move anything XD
