Hi, I'm back. Well, Iwas never gone but I realized the best way for me to contribute to the dink network is often not to contribute at all. Anyways, just answer the question! For the love of my hard drive answer the question!

I use Norton, but AntiVir is a very good free one. http://www.free-av.com/

I use AntiVir, and feel it's one of the best of any price! The interface is a bit crude, but it catches viruses (and other malwares) just fine. Updating the .ref often takes longer since it often updates all parts of the program too, but it runs clean, doesn't hog resources and its free!

AVG Anti Virus is very good, and I use it quite a lot.

Online scanners work, but usually too late. You need something that checks files as you open them or move them.
