I use both AVG and Malwarebytes. Been running smooth with those two ever since Avast sucked out.

Still works great for me. That's the only one I use and have for years. Never let me down, and I go to some very questionable sites.

Comodo works well for me as a free antivirus. Also run a Malwarebytes scan about once a month.

VLC Media player

AVG Antivirus (unless that's terrible now - someone should confirm that's still good.)

VLC is a must if you torrent

AVG is crap

Microsoft Security Essentials is where it is at

ever since I went to Norton and started using their firewall instead of Microsoft's, I've never gotten a virus. When I was using Microsoft's firewall they weren't protecting their browser very well and occasionally my PC would get infected, but not in years since I quit using Microsoft's firewall. I also quit using internet exployer. What a piece of crap that is. I now use Chrome.

I use zonealarm for firewall and AVG for antivirus. Opera has been my browser for years but I'm starting to get a little annoyed at some of the quirks.

AVG is overrated and not nearly as robust and protective as Norton. I believe AVG is more of a virus than what it's trying to protect us from. Also, Malwarebytes doesn't really help all that much. Someone mentioned it earlier. I used to have it on my computer, but Norton doesn't like it, so I don't either. I see more benefit from CCleaner (Crap Cleaner) than I ever did with Malwarebytes, or whatever its name was.

Oh, my bad. You're right.

I used to use AVG Free for many years without a problem but it started to really slow down my machine.

I'm actually on to Zonealarm for both firewall and anti-virus combined, ever since Checkpoint bought it out. It's been solid although my brother says my firewall is slowing me down.

Security Essentials + Malwarebytes + Common Sense = Virus Free.
