I am somewhat baffled that you were unable to find free anti virus software via google, especially since your first search gives 2 well known programs easily in the first page, perhaps you didn't see those as any good Of course you get what you pay for so generally a free anti virus program won't be as good as a paid one, which I would reccomend getting (Norton and McAfee are good) here are a few links to pages and articles with links and reviews of free anti virus programs: http://www.pcworld.com/howto/article/0,aid,113462,00.asphttp://www.freebyte.com/antivirus/#scannershttp://antivirus.about.com/od/freeantivirussoftware/Also a anti virus program is essential but I would also reccomend a firewall (a free alright one is Zonealarm, and anti adware/spyware software (Ad-Aware and Spybot are best in my opinion) hmm Arabic?

i see, every anti virus has its own specialty, for example, NorTon Antivirus is good for desktop using, the norton diskdoctor and maintenance tools also the best. Firewall, i think is more secure on premium mcaffe firewalls.. About the comparison charts, in one of computer magazine in my country, the top third is Norton, Kapersky and followed by Mcaffe. However it is depend on your need..

AVG Anti-Virus..... no problem with it and have been using it for over a year on several systems as well as reccomend it to all my friends and family. http://free.grisoft.com get it now, great protection. Norton? hahaahah dont make me laugh, norton is a peice of crap and a waste of money/system memory. AVG Free Edition is the best free AV program i have ever used. Also Sygate for a firewall and i can say that my computer is pretty secure.

AVG free anitvirus is very good. I have used it before and I never had a problem with it. So if you are looking for a free anti virus go for it.

i use Trend Micro Office Scan because my college provides it to me for free and i thank. sometimes my pc gets slow because of it due to the real time scan fuction. it's always scaning and when scaning big files it takes a lot of memory... apart from that is excellent, always updated and alert, Trend Micro works really good on fighting new virus and trojans. anyway, if i had to buy an antivirus, i wouldn't. AVG works good for free and combined with programs like Lavasoft ad-Aware (free) and Geek Super Hero($25 - 20€) you're 99% safe  if you don't know Geek Super Hero (from the authors of Getright) and what it can do for you, take a time to visit the site...

I simply don't really need an Antivirus unless I run my Windows partition. On that partition, I have McAfee. If you need a computer for work, design and or developing software, use Linux! xboxrulz
