This is a free anti-virus. It is not as comprehensive as some (McAfee or Norton), but is good enough for most users. You can't beat the price. I've also found that this program is easier on the system. I will share in a separate post some difficulties I had with McAfee when using network shared files and folders. The ultimate solution was to use AVG instead of McAfee.
AVG Free download site
When installing the program, accept the default settings until you get to the screen for the AVG Security toolbar. Uncheck this setting.
After the install is done, it will want you to configure. I did not select to have it collect information while browsing the internet (I don't want anything like this slowing me down). I set the daily scan to run at 12:15 AM (when I should be off the computer). This will work as long as you don't turn your computer off at night. You can turn off the daily scan if you want to run it manually.
