Avira

I haven’t tried Avira personally, but some valuable feedback from others forced me to add them in this list. It is easy to install and configure this antivirus. Avira’s Free Antivirus is their entry-level antivirus. It is capable of eliminating many forms of malware, including worms, rootkits and costly dialers. Though the user interface looks quite technical you’ll get used to it in no time. It is not complicated, just too technical for newbies.

Avira offers pretty good detection rates. The AntiVir Guard feature constantly runs in the background and monitors every file in the system. Avira is a company with over 100 million customers and more than 500 employees. It is a worldwide leading supplier of self-developed security solutions for professional and private use. Though Avira Antivirus has some criticisms, it is a good software with ‘free’ price tag. Avira is now in the Facebook AV Marketplace.
