Any good anti-virus freewares to recommend?

My machine's currently got Nortons on it, but it's makes everything so slow that I've had to switch off most of the functions.



And call me cheap, but I resent having to pay out extra after 6 months just so that it's not obsolete.

Avast Home Edition is free
AVG can be recommended.
I'll give you the same advice I gave MaryAnn in ''Software''



Right now, these two free AVs are getting the best reviews:



AVG Antivirus: http://free.grisoft.com/doc/1



Avira: http://www.free-av.com/



You might want to download them both and check them out. Every computer is different, different settings, different software. An AV that runs fine on one machine, may slow another one down or conflict with other software. So, download them and set a restore point in System Restore (you can access that by going to your start menu, choosing Help and Support, then choosing System Restore), or using any third party image backup program you might have (Norton Ghost, Acronis True Image). You want to do this just in case anything goes wrong when you install the program(s). Then install one, try it out for a few days, and see if you like it.
