you need some brains to work it but its brilliant
There is a free version of AVG available at www.grisoft.cz
Avast or AVG
one solution on Viruses is to run a system where that is not generally targeted by viruses....Run Linux and you will never go back to windoze!
Err, rubbish. Run Linux and you'll run into a FFS paradox at some point and install XP64. Microfloppy's finest O/S to date. At least you won't have to stuff about ceaselessly with NDIS wrappers if you're stupid enough to expect wireless networking to work in Ubuntu as advertised.
There are three ways to experience a virus.
1. Install software a trusted mate gives you on an unmarked cd/dvd
2. Visit Porn sites
3. Open unsolicited email
Macs get viruses. Different linux kernels have viruses specifically targeting things like firewalls and reverse proxy servers. The "viruses are only for Microsoft OSes" is just rubbish. Watch a Mac user implode when they do get a virus. They'll just scream, "Pah" and keep right on forwarding that virus until their box fails and then go, "But Macs don't get viruses" to the less than happy IT crowd who have to put up with his jeering anti-PC tirades all day and are now expected to resurrect work he hasn't backed up for several years.

plenty of freebies here antiviruse included
There are viruses writen for Linux (and they are a lot harder to detect and clean from a unix or linux system....so don't be fooled by that... if there wasn't there wouldn't be AV's for Linux???) and for those Mac users out there, there are viruses for MacOS as well ,
However good free ones for Windows is AVast, AVG, AntiVir Personal Edition, ClamWin Antivirus

I used to use AVG but couldn't find the free version of it last time I looked, so I have gone with Avast. The only problem I've had so far is that last week when it updated (it updates every day) it locked me out of the net! I rang my ISP's helpdesk and they checked and found I could connect to the net okay but nothing would download. They told me to uninstall it and then download it again, which I did, and have had no problems since then. It seems to work pretty well, I don't get a pile of spam.
Yes, I am pedantic about spelling and grammar so get used to it!
Ive used Antivir for a while and it's quite good - the updates are a bit of a pain though.
