It was probably Avast but there are a fair few free .
If you bank online with Barclay's Kaspersky Internet Security is free .0 -
Don't ever pay for antivirus software, there are so many very good free versions available.0

Lots of free options. I've been happy with Panda for 5+ years.

Whatever you choose remember to uninstall Mcafee properly first.0 -
Been using Avast free edition for years and have had no issues.
Just make sure you fully uninstall all elements of McAfee http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/mcafee_consumer_product_removal_tool.html0 -
avast free and windows firewall is a perfectly good combo......Gettin' There, Wherever There is......
I have a dodgy "i" key, so ignore spelling errors due to "i" issues, ...I blame Apple0 -
AVG is a popular free anti-virus. I use it myself.0
