four good options:\n\nAVG Free, AVAST! Home Edition, AntiVir, and BitDefender Free Edition.  All provide on demand scanners;  BitDefender does not provide an always available background scanner, while the others do, making BitDefender a good complement to the others if you want a second antivirus engine that won't conflict with the first.

Ok... AVG Free in my opinion is the best/most affective free anti-virus software for PC. Others might say Avast is, but it is a lot less user friendly.\n\nIf you can afford it, I highly recommend NOD32 by Eset. It's not the easiest to use, but it is the most effective AV I have ever used.\n\nYou can have two or more anti-virus software on the same PC, but it isn't recommended because it could slow down your computer significantly. Also one might cancel the other out or they could fight each other; both of which aren't fun to deal with.\n\nThey might both catch the same virus, but usually when it gets to the killing part they end up fighting the other Anti-Virus software.\n\nAVG should automatically remain operational and automatically update and detect viruses after installing.

McAfee AntiVirus and Norton Security Suite are both excellent, but they are HUGELY expensive ($100+), and they clog up your computer's speed. McAfee also offers a free standalone tiny antivirus tool called AVERT Stinger, but it's not that great. Don't even bother.\n\nYou can get free antivirus software online, and some of it is very good.  I personally use AVG Free Edition from Grisoft, which uses very little memory and is very good, although it runs an update every day. Other people prefer Avast! Home edition because it looks cool. However, it's really not all that good. Still more people prefer AntiVir XP, which is an EXCELLENT antivirus scanner, but uses more memory than AVG. \n\nHowever, to ensure that your computer is 100% safe, pair your antivirus software with some spyware and adware blockers too. Try downloading AdAware SE from Lavasoft, Spyware Blaster, and Spyware: Search and Destroy. All are excellent and will help keep your computer very safe, all for free. Remember to update them...\n\nAll of the software mentioned can be found at http://www.majorgeeks.com\n\nP.S. JibberJabber is wrong. PC Magazine rated free antivirus suites, and all of them, particulary AntiVir, had excellent catch rates. Although they aren't quite as good as paid solutions, you can use other software in conjunction with your antivirus software to make your PC safe.

"WHat would be the best virus protection software on the market today?"\n\nWhat does the word "best" mean to you? are you talking about protection, the ability to protect your computer? are you talking about what program that does not drain system resources? Are you talking about customer support?\n\nSee the problem is that... there is no Best AntiVirus. They all have pros and cons. Some are good, most free programs are crap (imho, and in my personal experience) and none are the best.\n\nhere is the "rock paper scissors" of the whole thing...\n\n-an AV that is the best at protecting your computer from viruses will hog system resources.\n-an AV that allows the computer to operate efficiently, will not have the best protection. \n\n-an AV that finishes a scan quickly will probably will not be the most efficient.\n-an AV that takes forever to finish a scan, probably will be the safest.\n\n-an AV that is free usually does not have customer support.\n-an AV that is not free usually does not have GOOD customer support...\n\nso I hope this helps... dont waste your time looking for the best antivirus/firewall program, just get a good one that is right for you that balances protection with efficiency\n\n@moodyboy\n\n"Kaspersky of couse and to all of you who still trust norton and macafee or those sort of sh**...now its time to open your eyes and do your pc or laptop a favor .... email me if u cannot afford to buy it..if u know what i mean. O_O! AVG REALLY SUCK DO NOT USE IT.... "\n\nI do not hold the same opinion as you, and I would go farther to even saying that you are void of any intelligence at all. I do not even think you know why you have such strong faith in "Kaspersky"? Because I know why you hold such a high program in high regards and denigrate other (obviously mainstream) programs. But do you?\n\nMaybe it is really "time [for you] to open your eyes". The reason "kaspersky" would be the "best" antivirus, is because very few (to no) virus writers would take the time to write script to defeat it. The biggest security threat to any if not all programs/av/os's is the more people that use it, the more people will try to edit/manipulate it. Hence, nortan is not as good an av (in your opinion) because.... it is main stream and most companies and consumers use it. By not only increasing the popularity of your av (and by my formula above, making it more "insecure"), you make yourself look... well for lack of a better word... retarted.\n\nAs for your offer of wares? First off, even those of little computer knowledge or experience can get programs off of the internet. You really must be kidding, not only would you be taking money away from the people who created the program that you so diligently promote, but you would even reduce the amount of time that company would put into creating security patches and updates (that is if they have patches and updates to begin with)...\n\nI bet you think you are a mad haxor huh? (getting wares off of the internets? and saying how detrimental it is for peoples to use nortan, and how “AVG REALLY SUCK[s(sic)] DO NOT USE IT” in caps… People like you make people like me laugh.\n\n\n!

There is no BEST.  If there was, we'd all use that, and that hackers would develop viruses to go after that.   You see, we all survive the best with diversity. \n\nBut check the ratings at http://www.cnet.com\n\nTry this: \nAVG Anti-virus\ngreat anti-virus program\nhttp://www.grisoft.com/doc/1\n\nGood luck and Happy Computing!

http://vil.mcafeesecurity.com/vil/content/v_134073.htm\n\nIt's best to scan with several virus/spyware programs. There's several online ones free that you can use. Avast has an awesome security center and is the newest popular one. I like panda and bitdefender best because they've found the most viruses. Bitdefender is slower but supposedly high rated. Norton causes crashes on startup sometimes and is pretty slow to begin with. AVG is a lemming that tells you where the virus is and doesnt really remove it. You can find more on viruses at http://majorgeeks.com/ Adaware is best for removing spyware. I got a list here.\nhttp://www.jimmyr.com/security.php

http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/free/ ... a-squared anti-malware is the bomb. It updates daily, scans everything on your computer, and most specifically seeks out Trojans. It's totally free.

I suggest you get McAfee VirusScan from http://www.mcafee.com it is, in my opinion, the best virus scanner on the market today. However, for a free alternative get AVG from http://www.download.com\n\nHope this Helps!
