I thought it would be of value to some to offer my opinion on the Free Antivirus Software programs that are available.
This is a very short list which is not at all conclusive and of course, strictly my own opinion.

My favorite Free Antivirus Software program is AVG Antivirus.
It is as complete of a virus protection program as you could ask for and it is very friendly to Microsoft Windows. It doesn't seem to impact the performance of the operating system as some of the others I have tried. Another thing I like is that it still runs on Windows 98*. Not every antivirus program can make that claim, and believe it or not, some people are still using Windows 98. You need to remember that Free Antivirus Software Programs need to be updated manually and you need to run your own scans. Real time virus protection will prevent a known virus from infecting your computer, but new ones can slip through if you don't update your virus definitions frequently.

*Windows 98 Is Only Being Supported Until August 2008 (Sorry)

After AVG Free Antivirus Software, I like PC Tools Antivirus.
It is also 100% Free without obligation and is a completely effective virus protection software. The main reason I don't pick it for number one is because it seems to make my computer run a bit slower when surfing the internet. The same cautions hold true for any Free Antivirus Software. You have to manually update the virus definitions and run your own virus scans.

These are what I consider to be the 2 best Free Antivirus Software Programs available.
There's really no sense in arguing about it one way or the other.
Decide for yourself . . . They're Free.

5 in 1 Protection from DefenderPro Anti-Virus Software
It's more like a security suite than just antivirus software.

This version includes:

All-In-One Protection From Internet Threats

Anti Virus

Antispyware

Email Scanning

Website Authentication

Firewall Protection

PC Performance Tune-Ups

Embedded Support

Automatic Updates

This is very complete protection for under $20.
Many virus protection programs will cost you about the same amount and offer nothing more than antivirus protection.

Reliability is Important To You.
DefenderPro Anti-Virus Software Utilizes The Kaspersky Scan Engine With Hourly Updates, which is considered by many to be the Best Available Today.

Cheap Antivirus Software?

A pretty good bargain anyhow.

Really, This is not as elusive as most people want to make it out to be.
The only way to keep it as simple as possible is to not give you a choice.

Seriously! This has been proven again and again.

If you get more than one to choose from, you won't.
You would rather do without than make the choice.

So, in order to keep with the true theme of this post, and so as not to confuse you with a choice, I suggest none other than the Computer Associates' Antivirus 2008.
This has got to be the single best Antivirus Software to meet both of these criteria.
The only problem you might encounter could be with installation.
And the only reason for that might be your current antivirus software may still have remnants that may need a little extra urging to leave your system. You can get help with the Norton Antivirus Removal Tool and the McAfee Antivirus Removal Tool.

If the comments about not being able to make a choice offends you (it should), go check more of them out at SmoothWebSurf.com.



Other softwares you can find there:

Registry Cleaner

Spyware Removal

Spam Blocker

Internet Security Suite

If you still can't decide, I'm telling you, stick with the CA Products.
