I am often asked what is the best free antivirus software and where can I find it? The most direct route is to go to your web browser and in the search box enter something like, ” best free anti-virus software,” and then have a look through the info provided.

There are many companies offering internet security programs for free, some are good, some are not so good, and some you should stay well clear of.

Many of the better known companies like AVG offer what I consider to be, an excellent anti-virus solution. The latest version not only includes an AV scanner but also a spyware scanner and built in protection for web surfing, phishing attacks etc.

Basically what it does is to tell you by means of a small graphic i.e. green tick that it is safe to go this website. So if you type the word, “Spyware removal “into Google’s search box you will get a list of many sites offering this type of software.

The problem of, “rogue software,”seems to be on the increase. This type of software once installed on your PC or laptop can install spyware, viruses and all sorts of nuisance malware.

The link scanner from AVG which is installed into your browser comes in really handy to help prevent this from happening. It should keep you away from sites that may try and trick you into installing their dodgy software. This kind of web surfing software has been around for quite a while although not many end users are aware of it.

I first used it when the security company McAfee bought it and started to offer it online for free. As you can probably tell I’m a big fan of AVG security software. This by no means is the only reputable company out there.

There are others like Avast and Avira, which seem to have a good reputation and are used by many to protect their systems from worms, viruses and all types of malware infection.

Hopefully I have answered the question, “where can I find free antivirus software” to your satisfaction. Next step is to spend a little time on your favorite search engine and choose your own or follow my lead and make AVG your first choice.
