The top rated three have been Avast!, Avira-AntiVir, and AVG. You can download these from their respected websites. They have been ranked as the top free anti-virus by many users and computer experts. Though be cautioned, they may not get rid of everything and they do not fix the speed of your computer. If that is what’s wrong with your computer, it may be a completely different problem. To find which anti-virus is the right one for you, I suggest you try each one.

It may not have as many features as if you had gotten the paid subscription, but it will protect your computer from most of the malicious software out there. The anti-virus will scan your computer from any infected files and attempt to clean the files, quarantine or delete the file, whichever you choose. Along with the infected files, it will also search for any malicious software that have caused those files to be infected and get rid of them. These anti-viruses will not delete any file without prompting you what to do, so you don’t have to worry about it accidentally deleting a file you need.

You can just Google for free anti-viruses and you will easily find where to download one. It is also easier to install since it does not require CDs or any hardware to insert into your computer. All you would have to do is download it from the site, install, and set its settings. Most anti-viruses will run in the background and use as little resource as it can as to not bother you or slow down your computer.

Most people would rather go with downloading the free anti-virus instead because of budget and convenience and that is just fine. There are small differences when it comes to the free one and the kind that you pay for. Free anti virus programs have less features and are usually downgraded from the paid for one, some slightly downgraded to others that only just detect and do not do anything about it until you pay for the subscription.

Though they aren’t as secure and efficient as the paid software, many people would rather take the risk than to pay for one. PC World, teaming up with AV-Test.org of Germany, put some of the currently available free antivirus software against each other. Each software’s scan speed, detection rates and ability to stop malware was tested. Results showed Avira Antivirus Personal and Alwil Avast Antivirus Home Edition as the top two and were given “superior” ratings. AVG 8.5 Free and Microsoft Security Essentials Beta, being the next two, were given “very good” ratings.
