What FREE AntiVirus do You Use?

    I've been using AVG forever but as we all know it is paid now. I haven't had one for a while and need one badly. Anyone have any recommendations? If someone on DP doesn't know then there must be none and I know there are some :cool:

    Thanks!

    My votes goes to AVG, I've been using it for years on the Windows machines we have here... Of course I mainly use Linux and OS X machines, so viruses aren't really a problem!!! :)

    I first used Norton AntiVirus 2003

    It would take a good time to load but I have now changed to AVG Anitvirus

    Also thanks for mentioning Zone Alarm Firewall (I am going to download and install it as I was in dilemma) about which to installl ,but now it seems zonealarm is the best!
