What's the best antivirus now on the market, and can i download it somewhere for free?
Anivirus????free spyware
For your anti-virus needs, I would suggest Avira AntiViråº PersonalEdition Classic. It has excellent heuristics, a virus detection rate that is better than most "paid-for" anti-virus programs and is light on using your computer's resources. Uses less then 10 MB RAM on my machine. And did I mention that it's free for life! Works great on my Vista box, too.

BTW, Avoid the free version of an anti-virus called AVG, it has horrible virus detection capibilities.
Enjoy!

Avira AntiVir PE Classic. It's a great free antivirus with excellent detection rates. It is also very light on resources and has great support on the Avira forums.
A Yahoo tech article answered this very question, and I've linked to that article below. Going with the most convenient, I'd pick Avast over AOL and the article will explain why.
