hello tim .well , there is no thing like the Best . with a huge number of options available in many of the software products , it comes to what suits your taste and requirements . if i were to put my options for a free AV product , try these and see what suits your needs --- >Avast ( very good detection and protection rates , light and some good extra features which are seen in many paid ones. )>Microsoft Security Essentials ( good detection and light .)>Avira ( a good one . )>Comodo ( its new but quite good and a bit for a little more experienced user .)and there are many more free options , but if i were to lay my bets out of all the ones , these would be it ...although AVG is very popular among the free ones , i would never recommend it . it never worked for me as a good product . try and see ...
