AntiVir and avast are pretty good. But, AVG is clearly the best free anti-virus package. Here's why:

1. It's easy to install and download. It will install even with other commercial AV packages running. That allows you to switch without leaving your self vulnerable.

2. It has a small memory footprint. It is able to protect your system using less the 10 MB or RAM.

3. It updates without any user intervention. I've been running AVG for over a year and not once have I had to intervene in update.

4. It works!!. I've not been infected by a virus even once since I installed AVG (I do also follow some best practices ... see below)

If your using a commercial AV package like McAfee or Norton. You are wasting your money and your RAM. To justify their continuing subscription fees they bloat the software with features you DO NOT need. Those features bog your system down without doing much to keep you safer.

To keep your computer safe do the following:

1. Use AVG.
