Topic: Free Anti Virus Software

[PhilTheFish]

Can anyone recommend a free anti virus program for a mate of mine? He doesn't want to spend 30-40 quid on Norton or Mcafee if there is something that will do the job for nothing!

Cheers

Hope they are ok.. I have been using AVG for ages with no problems, and the other 1 is reliable as well.

For anti virus software hit the Anti Vir link
