What is the best free antivirus around now?

Advast

Hello, there is no good or bad antivirus software, it depends upon user. As you know, there are so many antivirus like Avast, McAfee, AVG, Norton, Optimo Defender, Malwarebytes and many more which provide good and effective service.

I would recommend either Trend Micro Titanium Security 2014 or Kaspersky Antivirus 2014. Both are great.

I think Kaspersky Antivirus 2014

Avast is good for antivirus. Malwarebytes is good for antimalware. Uninstall the rest. One program you may want to check out is Hitman, it is a good program, able to detect lots of stuff if the rest aren't doing it for you. http://www.surfright.nl/en/hitmanpro

You should check installed Programs and uninstall programs such as conduit.com

Runs Avast in Boot Scan. This will restart your computer and then scan your computer before Windows starts.

open Avast

click on down arrow in Scan box

choose Boot Scan

Click on Start

Bleeping computer website offers good advice

Once you know your pc is clean, your best bet is Kaspersky Pure 3.0, which you pay for. It won't break the bank.

Norton

I use Avast. It's light, it's secure, and I've had any viruses running it.

Some you can try:

Kaspersky Rescue Disk

AdwCleaner

As for great overall protection, there is nothing greater than Kaspersky Pure.
