I am trying to cut back expenses and with the switch from Qwest; I lost my free One Care protection. Help, anyone out there know of some descent “free virus protection software” that I can download? I don't need much, just enough to keep my computer healthy. I have been searching around and it seems that most of them only have a 15/30 day free trial and they want a cc to start auto charging as soon as the trial ends. I seem to remember that back in the golden day’s hehehe there use to be some good freeware but heck if I can find it.
AVG is one of the top rated free Anti-virus packages. It takes a little manuvering on the website to make sure you get the free version, just read the links carefully. If I remember right, it also tries to install the yahoo toolbar during installation, but it's easy to just un-check the box and avoid that.
I did find that it slowed down the system I put it on - but it's free

I tried the one from dmcdd and it was downloading, downloading... and then after about 30 or so minutes into the process it said fatal error and shut down. Then I had to run out the door... so my journey continues. I will try Argyle's suggestion and see if I can crash that one also in the loading process.
Well I got the avast loaded and the computer scaned last night all looks good. And :crossed: the computer has not crashed yet. Thanks so much everyone for ALL of your help!
