Top Free Antivirus Software for your PC.

If you don’t have antivirus already, you probably are experiencing a very slow computer! Unfortunately due to the extensive work that it takes to keep up with maintaining an accurate virus signature database, many more popular antivirus software can sometimes be out of many peoples budgets, especially if you are not using your computer very often or have a spare computer that still needs protecting.

Thankfully if you are looking for a great, free antivirus solution there are many to choose from. In this article we will look at some of the top antivirus software from leading manufacturers. Any of these programs should be able to provide great protection for your computer.

AVG Antivirus – http://free.avg.com/

• AVG is one of the more popular antivirus solutions, especially in the free market. The program is easy to use and has some useful features like daily scanning. Updates are generally released quite soon after new viruses have been made. They also do offer a paid version for greater detection.

Avast! Antivirus – http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html

• An excellent choice for antivirus software, although can only be used for non-commercial purposes. Many people do find that it uses a lot of system resources though, so we do not recommend this for older computers. If you have a newer computer it should be perfectly fine though.

Avira Personal Free Antivirus – http://www.free-av.com/…_personal__free_antivirus.html

• Although not as full-featured as some of the other antivirus software, the Avira Personal Free Antivirus provides excellent virus detection and has an attractive user interface. According to AV-Test.org Avira rates slightly higher than other competing products. Unfortunately Avira do not include any spyware protection in their free version.

Being that these anti viruses are totally free, they may not detect 100% of all viruses that are out in the wild. I would strongly suggest running something like Eset NOD32′s FREE online scan periodically as well to make certain your computer is free of infections. Once a month should do perfectly for most people. You can find it here http://www.eset.com/onlinescan/.
