My CA anti virus software is expiring. does anyone know of any other free antivirus software out there that is good for a trial period of a year or so? CA offers their trial period for a year.
I checked all of the recommendations. they were all great and very helpful. i downloaded the avg since it was the most recommended and appeared to be the most popular download on the internet on the recommend websites the hippo one and the geek website. thanks for your response!
Hello J.,
try Avast. I have been using it for the past couple of years, have had no problems. it is available from their website. avast.com it's free, though you can make a donation if you would like. it's easy to download and use, I have a couple computer friends that use it. It hasn't caused any problems w/vista either.

I use Avast anti virus software, it's free and it's good.. I was using the anti virus software that my cable company gave me... It was awful, the Avast caught virus that my other didn't.. Hope this helps...

AVG Anti-Virus is a free download that a lot of people use to avoid paying for a good virus program: http://free.grisoft.com/
AVG. go to the website. of course they WILL try to talk you into a protection that costs, but go for the free protection.
Go to www.grisoft.com and download the free anti-virus software from AVG. It's absolutely free and one of the best out there. You can also check to see if your ISP offers any free security software as part of your service. G. B.
Hi J.,
Wow - sounds like you are really busy. That's great you're able to balance so much.
I use AVG antivirus software. I've used it for several years and it is free. There are also versions of it that you pay for but this free one seems to do a good job. It updates daily when my computer is on. You should be able to find it at www.avg.com - if you're interested. Good luck.

Bummer, I wish I would have read your posting before I just renewed my CA Anti Virus Software, ugh. Oh well. Did you like CA? I have to turn off my Firewall in order to access some websites, even my email because it takes like 2 hours to get from site to site. And turning that off can't be good.

When my computer crashed last summer because of my norton anti virus the dell tech support person I was talking to recommended avg software. It's free to download and run on your computer and it is what he has. It will run a scan every day. There website is avg.com search for the free version
Not sure what internet provider you have, but I use Comcast. They give you free McAfee antivirus. You just have to download it.
AVG is a free program and is decent. You can go to www.filehippo.com (all free downloads) and download it fromt there.
Just a note to be aware. I uploaded some free antivirus software of the internet that was recommended by my internet provider when my previous subscription expired, and I as concerend about potential viruses. Within hours my computer became overloaded by spyware and I had to take in the hardrive in for service. I'm no computer expert, but I won't be uploading anything like that again without consulting someone who is. Be careful!
Hi J.,
my husband recommended that you check out the site majorgeeks.com, you can download AVG and other software for free from them.

AVG its free ...you just have to make sure you down load the Free version
I have Avast! anti-virus. Its free and all you have to do is renew the code every 14 months. I really like it and never had any problems with it in the 2+ years I've had it.
You can download it here:
I use PC Tools. It is a free anti-virus program that has an automatic updater. You can find it at downloads.com.

If you have comcast internet, they offer a free anti virus program you can download.
Check this page out.
Try avast.com, I have my antivirus through them and it's free for the home version. They just provide it so viruses don't get spread. Hopefully you can find it ok. All you should have to do is give your info and they'll send you an email with a registration number to enter within a certain amount of time. It seems to work too, it's caught a few viruses trying to get in. And it updates automatically, which is really nice. God Bless!
Hi J....a wonderful and trustworthy website is majorgeeks.com. They have anything that you would like regarding antivirus, registry cleaners, popup blockers, etc. Some are free and some you have to buy, but they let you know. Be careful of the ones that just let you try them and then want you to pay. If it is from majorgeeks and not another source on their site, and it says free, it will be. Hope this helps.
We have AVG free virus and it gives you automatic updates as well.
Try AVG. They have a link on their website you can download anti-virus and anti-spyware software free for ever! I use it.

try avg7.1.com or spywARE.COM
AVG has a free edition...go to AVG.com
Try Avast... I don't know the website right off hand but I'm sure it will come up on a google search.
Avast offers a free all the time software as long as it is for personal use not for business use. http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html is the link. On the right side of the screen is the place you would click on download. Hope this helps.
