Free Anti-Virus Software

Many FREE anti-virus software has outperformed almost all paid for versions (such as Nortons and McAfee) so instead of renewing your paid subscription every year save your money and grab yourself Avast Home Edition. It requires activation via their website here.

I personally recommend AVAST (I specialise in computer security) as it is simple to use and always updates itself every few days.

Other FREE Anti-Virus products I recommend are:

AVG

Trend Micro Free Online Scanner
