Avast is a good free one so it AVG free.

Both my husband (who is a computer nerd) and I use it.

We both work from our computers.. so they are essensials... . I have had AVG since 2005... my computer is on up to 18 hrs a day... and so is my husbands.

I was advised to use AVG Free by a serious computer nerd in the UK before I came to live in America and several since have agreed!

I actively have removed any other security ware from my computers and used it ever since.

Even if you INSIST on paying out for securityware I would still buy the AVG.... but the free version has always been fine for us.

And no.. I dont work for them !!
