QUOTE(arm26685 @ May 1 2008, 03:15 PM) I use McAfee , it is very good one and Nod32 is very good too !McAfee , is freeware .Mc Afee is not freeware. You have to pay for a one-year licence. As usual you can try it for free during one month, then you have to pay for it.
yes, i have webroot spy sweeper. It is great at catching viruses and trojans before they do any harm to your computer. It regulary checks your computer for viruses and trojans. I recommend it fully. =)
Oh, and Reno is also a good one. The new ones are out and they are better then ever before. You should get back to me on that. If you have seen the latest one. Then you know its really good =) 
Hey Sunny NOD32 is the best but its not free it has a one month trial on it so i think maybe AVG would still be the one to go for thats free, reasonably good at cleaning and user friendly.
I have to say that AVG didn't intsall for me. I downloaded it and it didn't contain a serial number so I couldn't use it!
Here's a couple of things I found just with a google search:Avast Anti-vir (Free) Hope these help!

If I remember correctly, you should get the serial number by email. Did you give them a real email address, and did you make sure that it will get through the spam filters? If not, try again, giving them a usable email address. I have been using AVG for years, and like it better than I liked Norton or McAfee. Free doesn't hurt, either.
For Anitvirus the best free one that I've seen is AVG. I have never seen any problems with it and it seems to catch most viruses. I would suggest you suck it up and pay the $30 or whatever for a decent virus scanner though. I usually is a world of difference.
I am betting that your real problem however is spyware/adware. The best programs I have seen for this is Ad-aware and Spybot. I run all of these programs on a daily basis and the computers tend to run 100% better afterward. Good Luck
I used AVG for years until I got an eternal subscription to mcafee from work
BUt yea, AVG is pretty awesome so I'd reccomend it
From what I've been hearing, Avast seems to be pretty good. I'm currently using Norton, and trust me, it is really useless. Not at all worth the money - you are better off with Avast or AVG. My past experiences with McAfee keep me away from it, it caused more prolems than viruses!!!

McAfee , is freeware . Nod32 , you have to paid money to use . It up to you to chose one of these to use .

QUOTE(ethergeek @ Jun 25 2007, 08:20 PM) I wouldn't run it from a CD...it prevents you from updating the virus definitions and leaves you with just the heuristic scanning engine. You're partly right. The trick is on their website, for people having their own all-purpose CD in their pocket. The interest of a CD is that usually it cannot be contaminated by viruses. So, the trick is that way : you have portable clamwin on your CD, you copy the files to your friend's hard disk (a small folder, this goes fast), you run it from this folder. If the definition file has to be uploaded, it's uploaded on the disk. When you finish your work, you wipe off the directory, or you leave it for your friend if he is convinced by clamwin. QUOTE(yordan @ Jun 25 2007, 10:36 AM) Thanks for the info on portable clamwin. I just tried it, I love the way it's installed on your USB stick and run from there. So, before using your stick you can scan the memory of your friend's computer, it's nicely safe. I find it rather slow, compared to other things like McAfee or Norton, but I like the idea of running from an USB disk or from a CD. I wouldn't run it from a CD...it prevents you from updating the virus definitions and leaves you with just the heuristic scanning engine.
