What is the best FREE anti-virus program out there?

I have heard good things about NOD32

I've been using AVG Free Edition on all my computers for years. It does an excellent job detecting viruses. You can schedule scans, it has a resident shield, e-mail scanner, and you can download virus definition updates regularly so it's up-to-date, just to mention a few features. Best of all, it's FREE. The website to download it is http://www.grisoft.com/ if you are interested.

You can use Panda, they have a demo you can download, clean up your computer, make sure your firewall is on, then un-install it. In a few months if you need it again, re-install it, and you get another 30 days, unless you are downloading lot's of unknown files and being foolish there is no reason to have a virus protector running 24/7 it eats up loads of processor time.

Google Panda, it works great, fast and clean

AVG Antivirus Free Edition. They also have a antispyware program too - free also.

AVG free edition. google it. dont be lazy.

its good and frequently updated.

the only catch is it takes along time to complete a full system scan.

AOL's Active Virus Shield powered by Kaspersky is what I use.

Avast is what I use and have never had a problem. Just type in Avast free download ... it's free to home users. Good luck

Avast! It's free,it's great and you only need to register once per year to keep it going. No catches, no add ons and it has loads of protection for your system.

AVG Free, in my opinion

Since i know the AVG is free, i use AVG free, easy use, easy update. it haven't firewall.
