    I've been using Avast for a few years on a couple of computers and have never had a problem. It's free, smart software and give good protection to computer

    Antivirus companies prey on not only a users lack of technological knowledge, but their fear. They use this to make you pay for and install software you really just don't need.

    Pop up ad's should never be included in antivirus software because by definition the pop up itself is adware, one of the things you are trying to combat.

    Something I'll never get. People want to stop popups, but they're fine when it's their antivirus software telling them to upgrade for more features.

    It's like you pay someone to install their adware on your PC. Some are worse than others, but still.

    They all have pros and cons. I use AVG Free which I dislike, but can't be bothered changing, MalwareBytes for spyware and malware, and GMER for rootkit removal. Speaking of rootkits, what do you non-AV people use for rootkit scans? I'm just curious if the Windows ones do that as well?

    Ah nice, I didn't know Kaspersky had a free rootkit scanner. I might give it a go and see how it performs, though GMER is pretty good already.

    How about Eset's NOD32? Haha, I always liked that back in the day, really good detection, but like others have mentioned in this post some of it can be a bit overkill these days.

    I did use nod32 a lot myself. But that was back when I thought the extra features were needed. Everyone has to learn at some point. :)

    Windows defender with Adblock and noscript does more than any antivirus software will be able to do for you. And it's all free. Including malware bytes for slightly more advanced scanning.

    Real men don't use antivirus programs.
    Or just AVG Free. But of course, I'm a real man.
