WHICH IS BEST FREE ANTIVIRUS SOFTWARE ?

BEST IN TERMS OF SPEED OF SCANNING, NO FALSE VIRUS DETECTION, NO SLOWING DOWN COMPUTER SPEED, EASY ONLINE UPDATE etc.

AVIRA
AVAST
AVG

[skty]

First of all, AVG is useless.
Avast and Avira has the same rating but I prefer Avast.

I tried with various anti virus soft including that you mentioned , at last settled on Kaspersky. its not free but medicine is available. All things are ok in terms of that you have specified.

COMODO Internet Security Premium - Free

NOD 32 - not Free, but : no slow, no virus !

The report below shows that Avira is the answer of your question.

On page 6 of that report it says that "AVG, AVIRA: asked to do not enable/consider the informational warnings of packers as detections." and I think this enabled option in your PC gives you warning all the time. But be careful it says "warning" not "VIRUS" (refering your post to Etabs v9.7.1).

NOD 32 is the best one and free updation is also available at sites .

[imran]

AVIRA ANTIVIR is the best.

Also I believe that antivirus that can be cracked can also be bypassed easily so always use antivirus which has no cracks available whether Paid or free versions.
