AVG Free a. A simple interface (easier to use than Avast! and Avira) b. Can detect about 82.82% of viruses Cons: low virus detection 2. Avast! a. Real-time protection b. It has an option to delete a virus once found c. Can detect about 87.46% of viruses. Cons: Too many icons and confusing user interface 3. Avira AntiVir a. It can detect malware better than Avast and AVG b. It's cute umbrella icon c. Can detect about 94.26% of viruses Cons: A very sluggish update If you want a free anti-virus I recommend in order of popularity, but please choose the right one for you (install only one):

Personally I used to used Avast but it was very resource hogging and took up at least 20mb even when just idle. Now I use Avira and its much better. Whatever you use..dont use AVG because its crap.
