    Best Free Anti-Virus Software?

    Hi, I'd be interested in your views on what is the best free anti-virus software. I've tried AVG and Avast and still managed to get infected, so am thinking of trying Comodo? Any views?

    I've never had any problems with AVG.

    Avira Antivir is supposed to be very good although not tried it myself.

                        avira free antivirus is one of the best free ones. Avast has free one to (you need to register but it's free edition). AVG is another one.
                        All 3 have paid version to.

                        good luck

                          I found over time that the free editions are good for telling you that a virus is ON your computer, but its not very good for actually removing it. If a virus that is powerful gets on, there is no way of stopping it with a free one usually, and I have tried many. However, ever since I got a mcafee subscription, I have not had a problem and it has blocked a few virus' from entering my system already. I wonder if its a deliberate ploy by the companies to make you buy their products.
