Anti virus freeware question

[Everlong]

Hi all

I'm currently using Avast as my anti-virus program.

I'm looking for another free anti-virus program.

What would you all suggest?

Thanks in advance.

It you're only willing to go for free software, then I would say the only other decent one out there is Avira. (Due to issues with recent updates in AVG I can not recommend it any more)

However, if you are willing to splash out a little then I would say go get ESET Smart Security - It is definately worth it, fairly lightweight, and depending on configuration quite unintrusive. Currently for a 1 user 1 year license it goes for £20 on amazon, with a 3 User 1 year license going for £25.

What's wrong with Avast? It's been the best one that I've found for years now. And I think Dex would agree with me too.

Argh!! I'm just too lazy to read the licencing bumf properly!!

I thought my licence had expired and that to continue using Avast I would be required to buy the product.

Turns out, after reading the screen properly, that I just had to click the 'continue using current package' button!

Thanks for the post Ames, I wouldn't have checked back had you not posted.

Cheers

LOL. It took me a while the first time I had to renew it too.
Avast has never failed me and It's Silent/Gaming mode is handy to say the very least.
