2) Avast ! Free Antivirus : Avast
is often seen as the biggest
competitor to other Antivirus
programs as it is very simple and
easy to use. Avast is loaded with
most features, real-time
protection capabilities including
web, E-mail, P2P, network shields,
boot-time scanning. It is very
light on resources and hardly
take minutes to schedule scans.
But there is one negative point
that you have to register first and
it takes time to register.
Otherwise it is widely preferred
Antivirus program for many
users.
3) AVG Free Antivirus : AVG has
been around in the Antivirus
market from ages and gained lot
of loyal users to their kitty. They

personal computers. AVG user
interface is pretty simple and it
takes a minute to install on your
computer.

your computer speed. There is
also a very nifty feature included

5) Avira AntiVir Personal : One of
the best pick if you are looking
for simple to use and light on
Antivirus software. It works
perfectly fine todetect virus,
spyware, rootkit threats. The best
part of Avira is that it is quiet
outstanding in terms of finding
malware. Few false positives
about Avira is that it does not
inlude E-mail scanner in free
version, but if you open any
infected E-mail, it comes again
into action. And with every
update, it shows advertisements
but you have choice to disable
them. I still believe that Avira is
strong Antivirus program and
you should try it.

removing only trojans in the
starting but recently included the
Ikarus antivirus engine. It scans

about this software is its large
virus update size. Its comes with

solution from China. It is a simple
program which runs low on the
