So I don't do much downloading these days or browsing so I haven't really had a need for an antivirus program in a couple of years.
Are there any free ones out there that you would recommend to me? |

| AVG. Bit of a resource hog at times though. |

I don't use AV.
I rather reformat my PC when it gets pretty slow.
It is better than start with already being slow by running AV and doesn't make me feel difference anyways except for annoying messages.
Depends on situation no AV is better.
How come I don't see such virus anymore which screws up user files suddenly?
Those nasty virus were pretty popular long time ago.
Are recent virus only sneak out personal info? |

I would agree with that and I don't use one either, but I cannot access any of my work info from home, only my email because I don't have an AV program.
Thanks for the suggestions though. I will definitely check them out :) |

its great, +1; recommend as well.
ive used avira, avg, those have some lame popup after a while, and take up more resources, not to mention i dont think they're as good as msse.
also use zonelabs zonealarm for added firewall. |

Highly recommend it, Jenners. Been using it for something like 8-10 years I think at this point (has it really been that long?). Ever since I first learn about it in uni. |
