    I've used AVG Free for over ten years now.
    The latest version is starting to annoy me with the amount of pop-ups, but I haven't got around to researching the alternatives yet.

    Common sense with MBAM as backup and Windows bvuilt in protection. Never needed anything else and have also not have a virus since the 486 days

    Avast for some years then just Security Essentials for years but now it's been left to rot I've tried Avast again. The new bloat is horrible though. It slyly auto-installed an unwanted shopping toolbar on my Edge browser and has the nerve to have a feature for detecting and removing unwanted browser toolbars. Oh the irony.....

    God how I wish I'd gotten the free lifetime subscription to MBAM while it lasted!

    Might check out BitDefender after the positive comments on this thread...

    Was using AVG, but got hacked off by them selling user info etc so now trying Comodo, seems ok so far.

    Common sense doesn't really have anything to do with it, unless you don't browse the internet ever. I can tell you as a manager of windows defender corporate its not very good at all.

    AVG Free. I have this one mainly because it keeps the popups to a minimal and necessary. I also like AVAST or Mcaffe (The "pro" version we have this at work).
