AVG free from http://free.grisoft.com/freeweb.php/doc/1

Will do the job nicely. By far the most popular free antivirus programme.

I`ve used it for quite some time, and have always found it to be safe and reliable.

I've used the paid for Norton and McAfee and I like AVG free much better. It uses less resources and my internet connections seem to load a lot faster with AVG.

Kaspersky is supposed to be pretty good, and I've never used it. So I can't say if it's better or not, but AVG is free, Kaspersky's not.

Cant use AVG, there is a problem when im installing AVG into our system.. Is there other Free Anti Prog? -olefarte Yah, Kapersky is a good anti prog but i had used the License key and cant use it anymore..

Is there anybody encountered this kind of problem when installing the AVG Anti Virus "Something bad happened in the application. Error diagnostic file saved to 'C:\DOCUME~1\VALUED~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\avg7inst.err' "

Can someone teach me how to fix this kind of problem.. I dont have Anti Virus program in my system and my brother is always surfing the net, Im afraid that maybe next time my computer will be infested by virus..

Why are you having problems installing AVG? ?
Do you have the latest ver.& and is it the free Personal Edition ? ?
I have never had a machine that AVG wouldn't install on and i probably do dozens a week...
