Kalju Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Which free antivirus you recommend me to install for a PC with Windows XP. If possible a link to download it , please.Thanks for the help.If you think that definitely has to be something, then something really light. In fact, quite sufficient if you are using Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Pro (http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_pro/) and / or any of the free anti-virus program such as Avast Free (http://www.avast.com/index ).

Roy W Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Hi Vitorio.Have been using Avast free antivirus,tried the others also,and found this to be the BEST and especially the latest version.Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linus Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I also recommend Avast Free which is very light on resources & quite effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jobe Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 ESET was very good for me for a number of years,been using Webroot Secureanywhere for a change this year and I must say its very good and very light using cloud technology.

Lacius Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 It's not recommended to use Windows XP after end of support in April due to major security concerns. If you're going to use Windows XP anyway, I recommend Avast as your free antivirus, but it really doesn't matter. What's most important for an antivirus is that you are comfortable with it and it receives regular updates. They're all effectively the same thing.

pintas Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 ESET is the lightest, so i would recommend it too.Its not free, but with TNOD, it becomes free :PIf you're worried about using illegal stuff, just go for Avast or Comodo. These are really the only valid options. If i were you, i'd simply go with ESET 7 ;)It can't get any better than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vitorio Posted November 27, 2013 Author Share Posted November 27, 2013 hi:One additional question even I installed Avast, what is your opinion of free antivirus from Windows with the nane Windows Essencials? What is going to happen to it after 2014, same as XP updates?Thanks for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pintas Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 If you're using Avast, my recommendation is... disable/do not use Windows Security Essentials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
