Sure, I could pay /year for the popular McAfee or Norton virus protection programs out there, but I’m looking for something just as good (if not better) and FREE. I also do not want it to come with spyware or any of those other freaky things that free stuff comes with. Any suggestions?

I use malwarebytes’ anti malware and superantispyware. they definitely are way better than McAfee and Norton
I’ve tried other antivirus and those two are the best free that I’ve found cuz they get rid of many malware even the ones that are more difficult to get rid of (i.e. trojans and rogue)
I read the new free Microsoft anti virus is very basic poor protection……….this article may help you decide which to use http://antivirus.about.com/od/freeantivirussoftware/tp/freeantivirus.htm
Avira or avast , in that order, these are the top free ones. no strings, and they work well, i have tried both.
If you use windows, Microsoft has come out with free anti-virus software.
Otherwise, Avast! is a good free antivirus.
Try Avira, I put it on my customers computers.
100% Free with great detection rates!

I have used both avg and avast. Both have free versions out there and do not contain spyware.
Do this on-line scan first : http://www.bitdefender.com/scan8/ie.html
only if you might be worried that you could be infected now.
then go and get avast for full time protection,
you can not get a better anti virus system for free.
it has many features you will have to pay for in other systems.

don’t forget to register or you will only have it for 60 days
by registering you will get a licence for a full year.
just re-register at the end of the year to get another one year licence.
if you feel you would be even safer with a software firewall
then
try this one it’s also free and it has no conflicts with avast

if you dont like the look of avast then try Avira
