Second to none 5 stars by dem232 Jul 16, 2012 (Read all my 3 reviews)
This is simply the best free antivirus there is. There are many free AV tools out there, but this is unbeatable. It's come a long way since being one of the best years ago to take the crown. I liked this so much that upgraded to the paid full suite with firewall. And I have absolutely no regrets. Highly recommended! showShow review details
The best anti virus I have found 5 stars by lanestraironclaws30 May 14, 2012
This is the best program for finding and blocking viruses I have found. I find it to be very user friendly as well as price you can't beat for what it provides is peace of mind for any one that may use a computer weather you are an advanced user on a novice. All you do is register it as a free user for a year and there you are :) You're ready to go. Just make sure you set your times for it to do its thing. showShow review details
