Best FREE anti virus software?

My laptop is acting a bit funny. Need to do a scan on it but Norton has expired and I’m too cheap to pay for it again.

Thanks!

MSE.

Remove Norton first or they’ll fight.

as above, the microsoft program really is very good, and this is coming from someone who used avira for years

AVG. We had MSE & it didn’t stop a costly virus a couple of months back.
Bloke who fixed it put AVG on. He rates it highly & had nothing to gain. He seemed to know what he was on about.

Cheers chaps!

Do you need Malwarebytes with MSE?

MSE is not good enough anymore IMHO. At work we’ve switched to Kaspersky and Avira due to a number of machines getting infected (apparently from ads) despite running bang up to date defs and the highest security settings.

The downside of using their free versions is having to dismiss annoying popups once or twice a day.

MSE and Avast as a back up, IMO.

Avast is brilliant, just don’t fall for their upgrade for a charge reminders.
