Free Anti-virus software

it seems that antivirus is always a hot topic to computer users. it is indeed the moment to secure our computers but to pay or to download for free, we all have our own ideas, now i would like to share with you free antivirus software. here's what i collected. anyone who know of any other good freeware? speak out
1. Get the fee avg 8.0

you may have better place, if so what about telling me

2.make sure you have a basic in/out firewall
3.get the free returnil (and use that when you are on the internet.)

avg antivirus is small and does a good job, anything that might slip through avg will be stopped by "returnil" no virus/spyware/ malware/trojan/rootkit has been known to defeat returnil. returnil runs in memory and speeds up your computer instead of slowing it down.

as long as you have returnil , you dont have need any bloated antispyware software.

i checked my posts i was a little shocked. you are right , almost all of my posts have been just inviting people to download software. and i thought over the reason seriously. maybe the following is the reason:
my posts came after i logged in other software forum, when i found them similar to my cases and i posted the problems here. but i didnt notice they are almost the same styles.
i just want to say sorry for my boring posting style,


you must be joking, it seems i am working for some websites,?iam really happy about your review, that means i am capable enough of doing work of this kind, i may think of working for some website if they hire me. but it is impossible. if that comes ture i guess i can hardly earn a living. there are sharp-sighted people everywhere

after trying several, i settled on this one:

Reece , I got to know of the site because of piriform the people who make ccleaner , probably how a lot knows of filehippo..

I use all their products as well.. except like many things always take time installing or you get an option for some unwanted toolbar or security scan, from major companies..

anyway piriform are London based developers, so if it goes wrong I'll pay em a visit.hehe.. not that it would I've been using ccleaner for a few years and it never messes up, unlike a few pay-for optimizers that like to delete hidden protection files. It did that for my dragon naturally speaking..

they do a defrag program and also a thing called recuva for file recovery.

years ago I used to use a website called softseek , but then c-net (download.com) bought them out and it got not so good.

majorgeeks is a nice site , but the amount of content is overwhelming.

If I fix a pc for someone and they are too lazy to do updates, well the update checker on filehippo gives them a hint

Reece, well they are based around the corner from Denmark street, which is famous music street in the centre of London.. basically all guitar etc. shops.. although one of the companies , maybe the biggest on it when in to administration last year. The pistols also used to record in a studio on that small street .

I haven't been to the centre of London (the west end) for a long time as it's full of tourists and I can just get all my music equipment from Digital Village, Acton just down the road (quite near to the edirol HQ as well..haha) . I mean I couldn't take the mackie 824's on the bus, that would have been madness. At least I can park in Acton.. now to drive into that part of the westend, for a day your looking at $16 BEFORE any parking fee's
