need a new anti virus

A couple of months ago there was a post about a good anti virus software. I need the names they had mentioned. I recently renewed my anti virus "Comodo" which worked fine for the first two years. I believed I was scammed when I renewed. Can anyone give name of a good anti virus. Thanks in advance.

Microsoft security essentials is free for Windows Vista and Windows 7

This is all you need and it's free. You can't beat free. Uninstall all that other anti-virus crap software from your computer.

For Windows 8, it is called Microsoft defender. It is also free and basically the same thing as Microsoft security essentials. Malwarebytes is also good as well.

I have used the free edition of AVG for 10 years and have never had any problems.

Nowadays none of them protect you from everything so IMO it is best to go with the free options. Keep your critical data on a portable drive and reinstall windows if you develop a problem.

I know a lot of people who are using AVG (free version) & are having no problems.
Some also run (along with AVG) SPYBOT or MALWAREBYTES.

AVG free edition is very good, too. I ran that before I switched to Microsoft security essentials. I run spybot and malwarebytes, too. No problems.

Best free anti viris is ADVAST. Scans everything including your registry. Might have to do it overnight the first time.

I was using the free version of Malwarebytes with windowsXP...and loved it.
I just got a new PC and for some reason it will not completely install Malwarebytes,
or it installs, but then cannot open the program...This saddenz me

I do have Microsoft Defender for Windows8....Guess I will just use that.
