Free antivirus software

Posted in security tips, spyware prevention tips

How do you evaluate an antivirus program? The best antivirus software is not necessarily suit for everyone. It depends on certain factor; for example the ease of use, the quality of each scanning, additional feature set and the price.

The AVG antivirus by Grisoft is the free version that is quite popular nowadays. It has been awarded VB 100% award for six yeas consequently. The free version only provide basic scanning and update. No real-time protection, no auto scanning and no customer support. For most home users, this one is just good enough, since they don’t get infected by malware frequently. Plus, it is better since it’s free.

However, in my opinion, the interface for AVG free edition is somewhat not attractive. Some functions can’t be accessed that easy. If you’re looking for free antivirus, I recommend Bit Defender Free edition. Bit Defender has the scan engine that pass VB100% award and ICSA Labs. Plus, the interface is very neat, and easy to understand. Just like most free antivirus, it’ll scan only on demand and no additional features, such as firewall or antispyware.

These are list of free antivirus software:
