Don't the big names have free versions of theirs? McAfee and Symantec. If not, at least demo versions.

Well I tried McAfee like a month ago dunno what I did wrong but it never worked just kept asking for my cc info and telling me how much it was going to charge me.

so which is best or does it matter?

 

[minendo]

Go with AVG. Link provided by JuMpR629.

I would use AVG from JuMpR629's link.

For some reason i thought you could still update the virus definitions after the subscribtion expired in Norton, guess i was wrong. Bastards, they aint gettin ANY of my money

ACk ok I dl the AVG one.

Then after it DL i went to open it and got this error: WinZip self-extractor header corrupt. Possible cause: bad disk or file transfer (am downloading it again now) Nope still same error suggestions anyone?

What the heck???

I think I have a virus on my computer as my drives keep spining like they are trying to open a program only I am not doing anything. GRR this really sucks! :|

yes i am..

hmm. panda activescan if i recall correctly worked good. give that one a try.

 

[dude8604]

AVG is the best free one.

As far as online ones, this one is the best.

 

[MrCodeDude]

Best idea. Download the trial version of NAV 2002. The 2003 BETA was leaked if you want to try that.
