whats a great free antivirus program that can protect/remove viruses?

Asked by: 186 views Computer Security

My “friends” opened up a minecraft server,and they wanted me to “join”,and they gave me the client to download it on skype,when i went to download it,my antivirus program(basic McAfee,only detects viruses,doesn’t scan/protect/remove)popped up and said -McAfee has just protected your computer from a Trojan file.-I’m getting a new comp(my current ones awful),and to prevent this further,I want an antivirus program,but I don’t want to spend big money on one.Is there a free download for one online that can remove,detect,and protect from viruses,that ISNT a trial?It would be greatly appreciated.Thanks!

    I propose you to try Microsoft Security Essentials ! It’s an Antivirus developped by Microsoft, i ever used Nod32, but since they do not detect some important threats ( and MSE do ) i switched, and i can only advice you to do the same.

    It’s Free, user friendly, and it do what we need.

    Do this on-line scan first : http://www.eset.com/online-scanner
    only if you think you might be infected now.

    Then
    i suggest you go and get Avast : http://avast.en.softonic.com/

    you can not get a better anti virus with anti spyware system for free.
    it has many features you will have to pay for in other systems.

    don’t forget to register : http://www.avast.com/registration-free-antivirus.php
    or you will only have it for 30 days
    by registering you will get a licence for a full year.
    just re-register at the end of the year to get another one year licence.

    if you do not like the look of Avast
    then microsoft supply a system for free..

    Microsoft Security Essentials : http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/

    Remember
    you must only have one antivirus system on your computer at anyone time.

    The next best free one is,

    Avira AntiVir Personal : http://www.avira.com/en/avira-free-antivirus

    If you want a complete internet security suite,
    then there is,
    Comodo Internet Security for Windows : http://www.comodo.com/home/internet-security/free-internet-security.php

    OR

    Outpost Security Suite FREE : http://free.agnitum.com/

    .

    Try this:

    I have the free versions of Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware (MBAM) and Avast Antivirus installed. They won’t conflict, so long as you don’t attempt to scan with both simultaneously.

    Here’s a link to the free version of Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware:

    Here’s a link to the free version of Avast Antivirus:

    Hope this helps.

    You should also install an anti spyware program that will detect and remove any future threats of malware, spyware, adware, keyloggers, etc.
    I recommend SuperAntiSpyware at superantispyware.com , it is free to download.
