What is the best free computer anti-virus?

There are three major free antivirus Software's available in the market.

1. Avira Antivirus

2. AVG

3. Avast.

All these above are free and Avira proves to be better compared to the other two and Norton too. This free software provides only ANTIVIRUS security and not the total suit which contains internet security+ firewall.

There are many categories which are considered to differentiate between the antivirus Software's. Software's can be compared and differentiated on the basis of graphic user interface (wont matter much), Accuracy with which it detects virus, Number of false positives, Speed of scanning, Memory used and many more. So, if you want to see why I said that it is better than Norton, then just go on to the site https://www.av-comparatives.org/  and Read out the test reports to get the clear idea about the best and reliable antivirus program.

Hi Charlie,

The best free antivirus as far as I am concerned is AVG. I use it every day and it has never disappointed me. AVG offers full protection to your system from all malware and viruses that may be a risk to your computer. Viruses like auto run, viruses that may result from browsing the internet and sharing portable drives like flash disks are completely not a threat to AVG.

It has the link scanner that scans all the sites that you access on the internet hence protecting your PC from being attacked by viruses that may be downloaded online.

Trust me, AVG is the best.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Lee Hung.
