Hi everybody. I am trying to find a free antivirus system for my PC. Can anybody help me with that because my computer is in risk.
Hmmm ... not the type of question we get very often in this forum, but here goes. ;)
AVAST - www.avast.com and AVG www.avg.com offer the most popular free anti-virus software I know of ... in terms of downloads. I'm sure free versions of Mcafee and Norton are also available, among others. I use a MacBookPro, most of the time ... so it's hasn't really been a concern. ;)
Cheers,
Mike
Thank you Mike. I"ll let you know what happens.
Absolutely AVG. I have run AVG for years and I heve never had a single virus issue -ever
Go with AVG! Solid software.

Not sure about AVG, but I used to use Avast and never had any problems with it.
Hi my friends. I feel so disappointed because I downloaded the avast antivirus system and my computer just don't work any more. I don't know what happened. I am writing these lines from an Internet cafe next to my home. I 'll be back probably after a few days. I am very sad.
Back up, already? You're posting from the same IP Address you've had since you joined ... cafe must be really close to home. ;)Quote:

It really is close to my house. But I have another notebook too, and since my Internet connection has been blocked when I downloaded the antivirus system I needed a place like that Mike. Anyway I think anybody who wants to download a free antivirus system must be very carefull. Especially with that avast free version. I am back now.

Avast! and/or AVG is good.
Or maybe just do a Google search. You never know what you get. ;)

I've used AVG for years & I swear by it (after 30+ years in the business). It's as good if not better than the paid-for Mcaffee etc and performs better & faster. Plus you can schedule it to scan your hard drive daily whilst you are asleep and then automatically shut down the pc. :-).
p.s. I also use the free zone alarm and Spybot.
Sounds like you have a bigger problem on your hands. You may have to reformat your drive. There is a site you can check (I don't have the URL), but I believe it's called Malware Bytes and you can use what's on that site to fix your computer.
You may want to have a look at a good system in "spybot" search and destroy"
Irecon that that is good enough...
Why not take it to a computer repair shop...there might have been a problem also concerning the hardware..... just a suggestion...
yeah I highly highly doubt its anything Avast or AVG related.
