Wuts a good virus remover thats free?ducati

I did my own test on the 4 free ones I know of (AntiVir, AVG, Bitdefender, Avast). I couldn't find any decent reviews that I trusted, so I conducted my own test.

I took a machine and went to every bad idea I could think of. Once my machine locked up with bugs, I copied the hard drive 4 times and installed bitdefender, antivir, avg, and avast on each partition and saw how well they did.

bitdefender was the best, but the free scanner, did not do real time scanning (fine for me, but bad for my customers), so I choose #2 Antivir which was really close to #1 and easy to setup. AVG came in farther down at #3 and avast was last.

An interesting side note to the story was that I recopied 2 of the partitions to their buggy state and ran a trial of Norton and McGafee on them and 3 out of 4 of the free scanners beat them both with 1/4 of the overhead.

I did this almost 6 months ago, so things may have changed, but I'm sticking with antivir at http://free-av.com

PS: I just read some statements above and wanted to mention a couple of things I agree with. http://www.download.com is a great place to start when looking for any program. Ad-aware is a great addition to fighting bugs. It can be found at http://www.lavasoft.de
