Free Anti Virus (anti virus gratuis)
To assure that you always get the best possible virus protection and
avoid downloading software that could be adware or spyware in disguise,
our recommendation is to stay away from freeware as a general rule.
There are a lot of legitimate antivirus and computer security developers
out there, though - and they offer very reliable products.
Free anti virus software is available in many forms. Most major
internet security product developers offer a free "trial version" to test
before you buy. This type of free anti virus program is either time
limited (it quits working after a certain period if you don't buy) or has
limited features. A free antivirus download of trial software is a
good idea in order to see if you like the product. As long as you
download the product from the official vendor website, you need not worry
about infecting your computer with malicious spyware. Several good
antivirus products to try are McAfee anti virus, Norton antivirus, Avast,
Nod32, EZ anti virus, AVG and Panda. See our
antivirus software page for
information and links. For those on a tight budget, there are some good
free anti virus downloads out there. To avoid downloading from an
unscrupulous site however, please either use the links on this page or go
to a good software review site like PC
World or PC Magazine. A good
review on free antivirus can be found on About.com. These
online versions of computer magazines include reviews of just about any
antivirus product you can think of. Use the links supplied there to
get your free antivirus software. Free Antivirus Software
