On this PC, XP Pro 64 bit, I have Avira AntiVir Personal virus scanner and Ashampoo FireWall, both free versions. I've been very happy with both.
In the past I have used AVG virus scanner and ZoneAlarm Firewall, both free, starting with my first PC until I got the 64 bit and was very happy with both. I still have AVG and ZA on my XP Pro 32 bit.
Oh yes! Before I got Avira I used avast! Free Antivirus and it was great. After one update it went crazy with finding false positives and I uninstalled and got Avira intending to switch back when it was fixed but I never did. One annoying thing about Avira is ever so often, almost once daily, it throws up a nag screen promoting the Pro version.
The popular antivirus suite Avira AntiVir Free updated to version 10, but there's surprisingly little new here. Users will get a faster, more user-friendly installation and a refreshed skin, but feature-wise the latest from Avira holds its own instead of pushing ahead.
That's not to say that Avira isn't one of the best free antivirus apps out there, because it is. It remains easy to use, with a robust selection of preset scans, and continues to fare well in efficacy tests. Don't take our word for it, though: watch this First Look video and tell us what you think in the comments
