Hi,
Which free antivirus would you recommend?
I got a Samsung Netbook for Christmas and the pre-loaded free antivirus is about to expire, I have Kaspersky on my laptop but am looking to run something for free untill my Kaspersky runs out then I can purchase a multi user package.
Thanks

I use Microsoft Security Essentials. Runs with minimal resources and doesn't plague you nor try and take over your system completely.0

Go look here for identical discussion on free AV

I'd try either Avira or Avast as advised above, perhaps you could then become a REAL Moneysaving expert and run a free av on both machines.............. FOR FREE.:)Every day when I wake up I thank the Lord I'm WELSH. .0 -

I assume the pre-loaded antivirus is McAfee?
If so don't forget to also use the McAfee removal tool, details here.....
