AVG Free - Download Free Antivirus Software
Most people I know use it.
I have used it for many years and recommend it.

Love AVG, couldn't stand Norton as it made the PC slow, ages to start up and shut down

I used AVG for years too, but recently it has become advert laden & overbloated so now I use Avast and IMO it is less obtrusive & works extremely well.

avast or avira

avg isnt the bad boy it once was and will reduce system performance greatly just as badly as what norton does.

absolute garbage and i stopped using it and instaling it on systems years ago after it got turned into a profit making company

We changed from AVG to Avast when they changed AVG to version 9. It was great before that.
