Free Virus Scanning Software

[superfraser]

Hey guys,

Time for a change, my free Norton Virus Scanner thing expired.

What's the best free virus scanning software these days?

Any other essential programs I must have?

Cheers.

Try Avira, one of the best for free.

Avast is a good one which I use at home, checks most things P2P, Web, email, instant messaging (like msn).

Try Avira, one of the best for free.

Avira has won a lot of tests lately in the free Anti Virus bracket and seems to be pretty good. AVG and Avast are also excellent programs.

I used Avast on my last laptop but i recently upgraded my Comp and had Kaspersky thrown in ( Or i haggled for it!! ) and it is an Awesome Anti Virus program.

Some usefull results here...
