The best free antivirus software is Avira

As a long-time computer user, both as a professional system administrator as well as an entrepreneur, webmaster and home user, I have used almost every antivirus software over the years, both commercial and free, and I have come to the conclusion that Avira Free Antivirus is the best, whether considering free or subscription. In the past, I have used AVG, as well as both Norton and McAfee, but Avira has never failed me. At one time I used AVG, and thought highly of it, but it failed to protect me from the MS Antivirus virus, as well as the Melissa virus.

As a free product, with both automatic and on-demand updates, Avira is great, and, of course, the best part is that it's free. Other software, as shown with prices, includes:

Norton (Symantic) 360 $40.00

Webroot  $39.95 - $79/95

Trend Micro $39.95

McAfee  $49.99 - $99.99

Kaspersky  $53.97

Avast  $19.99 - $39.99

Sophos $107,25

Eset NOD32 $59.99

While these products are effective, they do not beat the free Avira. Why pay between $40 to $107 when Avira is equally effective and free. Get it from http://avira.com
