I use AVG. It tells me if I'm about to enter a dodgy por......ah, Pork website.

Yeah, pork.....

Don't bother with GayVG ... biggest system hog known to man, and misses a lot of viruses.

Avira Antivir is the king of free AV suites these days. Very decent detection rates, nice interface, and it runs very lean.

I have no problem with AVG. It actually blocks the website you're entering if it's dodgy.

Vargy ... listen to your Uncle CK.

1. Avira Antivir → http://www.free-av.com/en/trialpay_download/1/avira_antivir_personal__free_antivirus.html

2. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware → http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebyt...4572.html?part=dl-10804572&subj=dl&tag=button

Set the first one to run daily.
The 2nd one you do manually once a week.

Thanks for all the help guys - I've had this laptop for about 4-5 months with no anti virus running on it, and I've downloaded a lot of questionable things, so just wanna make sure it's safe.

I use AVG does it's job for me.

 

[MeskBrah]

ESET NOD32 AntiVirus.

 

[steve1700]

kaspersky or eset nod32 are pretty good

 

[habs]

Microsoft Security Essentials.

Have used a total of 6 different Anti Viruses in the past 10 years

Norton - rubbish
Trend micro - not that much better
AVG - solid
McCafe - VERY SOLID

Til i came to... Avast (Home Edition). Probably the best of all. And if you get the home edition its completey free.

 

[MattyB]

I use Avast too, it has worked well for me over the years

 

[Rodzilla]

i haven't used an anti virus for the last 3 years and my laptop is still going cool

i believe anti virus companies are behind the so called viruses and if you get one of their products it will only cause problems so you feel protected and buy the update
