Which free anti-virus software is best?


For for your choice! Or suggest another.

For Windows 7 and Vista, I recommend Microsoft Security Essentials. I have been using it for the last 18 months with zero issues. MSE + Windows Firewall + User Account Control + a little common sense = Malware-free system.

Thanks Jonas.

For a smooth PC experience, no one anti virus is good enough. Personally, I use MSE with MBAM and some assorted rootkit scanner. So far so good.

Microsoft security essentials without a doubt.
Here's another suggestion: Use Ubuntu as your OS, if you are not a pc gamer. Much safer than Windows.

Avast And AVG is not that much good. I have to try MSE.

Thanks Habib Bhai for your valuable suggestion. I will try it on my netbook. :-)

I had used both many different paid and free AV software in the past - AVG, Avast, Kaspersky, McAfee, Symantec et al and now on my windows laptop just use MSE - low memory and cpu hog and very unobtrusive. I am also a savvy user so have never had a virus infection so YMMV.

I have used McAfee, it just slowed my comp down BIG time. Also used Norton, while ago, so can't comment on that.

Or you can have avast, and it will do the same without the annoyance of the windows tools.

Only if you don't know what you are doing. I am very strong OS-agnostic and have dual boot Ubuntu and Windows on my machine and we also have couple of macbook pros in the house.

As I indicated earlier, I have used a wide variety of AV tools and now use MSE. I deal with ZERO annoyance - this is an extremely unobtrusive and small footprint software. So just because it comes from MS doesn't mean you have to hate it.

After the debacle that was Vista, MS did do an excellent job with Windows 7 and I have no complaints.

Lol this post is a lie.

After posting this topic & poll, after getting opinions, I started using MSE and it's simply the Best I think. Cause I used the other free anti-viruses. But they have different problems. But I still didn't faced any problem after using MSE. MSE Rocks! \\m//

AVG for me.
