Personally I like AVG it is free and they don't charge for use. It is on my library's computers and on my computers at home. Hubby installs it on computers he sells to people.

www.Avg.freeEdtion7.5 Get it from www.filehippo.com good luck It works great.
AVG, they are free and they get updates all the time to identify new viruses...http://free.grisoft.com
Go here http://www.avast.com/eng/programs.html

Click on the download tab at the top left and then click on the programs. You can download avast 4 home edition for free. You will need to register and they will give you a key. Registration has to happen once a year. But they keep the defs up and they automatically update. Pretty good proggie for free.
Try one of these free anti-virus software. http://www.basicspywaretips.com/freeviru...
If you have a dsl or cable provider they generally have a free virus and spam checker. Look at your account.
remove norton. Avg and avast are both good and free
i have had great success with AVG ,(www.grisoft.com) I too had problems with Norton I downloaded from the internet and it corrupted my entire system.
The best free alternative to Norton (not that I would have actually bought Norton in the first place) is the AOL Active Virus Shield (powered by Kaspersky), http://www.activevirusshield.com/antivir...
