I have not looked in detail since long, but I think Avast and AVG have free anti virus. You can check them out, as well as Quickheal.

Avast free antivirus works well. I used it on another version of Windows and was satisfied.They offer real time scan and some access to their VPN service. Additional info from their site:"Avast Free Antivirus and anti-malware can quickly and easily remove any malware from your devices"

You can try Avira. It's also good and has free version.

Well you have Bitdefender free which is light and efficient, but you also have Windows defender who interferes with anti-virus. You can also try an online scan of your computer, one of the best sites to do it is Trendmicro:

https://www.trendmicro.com/en_us/forHom ... ecall.html

it will scan and remove most virus from your computer.
That was one of the reasons I stopped using windows, I am into linux now and I am quite happy about it, there's no virus or malware to annoy me anymore :)

I am using 360 Total Security, which is a free antivirus program. I have also used panda cloud free version in the past. Both are good programs

360 total security is the best because it is a Jack of all trades, Anti-virus,Anti-Malware, Junk file cleaner and Anti-keylogger.

I have used free version of Avira, Kaspersky, Panda Cloud, 360 Total and many others. I think 360 is the best because it is a total package. By using this program you will not only be notified about unwanted programs but also the safe and unsafe site while browsing internet.

I use Windows Defender that comes with Windows. I used Avast for many years, but they got too pushy about upgrading and I got tired of it.

I get free antivirus with my internet connection. I get my internet through the local cable company and as a perk they offer free mcafee which is a good service. There are probably other ones but that is the one I know :)

Do not use Avira, that annoying Anti_virus will slow down your computer because it consumes a lot of ram and accuses games as virus.

I personally use Avast and Smadav. These are my best free anti virus software programmes I have been using since many years now. I trust them for the work they do and also love their configurations for example when it comes to excluding files and folders you don't want to loose for example of you happen to use cracked software.

Free Avast edition is the same I use. This Antivirus has all it requires to have protection and a secure computer. Real time scanning and update whenever they are available.
