I'm trying to protect my computer with the best (free) programs that I can. I have Norton that came with my computers' software bundle, but it's a resource hog and is huge.
I've been looking at these for AntiVirus:
AVG - I've tried it already, though a lot of people said it's not that great and doesn't pick up a lot of viruses very well).
Avast - I have tried this one as well...but just the same as with AVG, a lot of people said it wasn't all that great at picking up various viruses.
Trend Micro - I know they have been around for a very long time (I know of them by the years-old name ''PC-Cillin'' Antivirus).
Nod32 - Not sure if this one costs to buy it...haven't looked into it yet, but a lot of people seemed to like it in reviews that I have red. Never heard of it.
Bit Defender: Apparently this is a free version of some kind of antivirus/antispyware program by Microsoft. It seemed to get good reviews, though.

Avira - too many false postives and it some what system instable
AVG is still rated better than Avast ( stability problems plague it ) and is still what i reccomend.
