"The best free virus protection on the market"
Pros: Simple to use, great detection rate, and daily updates.
Cons: The huge nag screen asking you to purchase, that pops up during daily updates, will drives you crazy.

"One of the top three free anti-virus programs."
Pros: This latest version on ANTIVIR is a good improvement to the GUI and user friendliness. This is STILL one of the best free anti-virus programs available and it found a virus that AVG never found on my PC!!! Several options to apply and sports real-time monitoring to help protect you.
Can't go wrong with using Antivir. One of the BEST anti-virus program available, including all ones you would have to pay and arm and a leg for!!!

"Excellent, free anti virus application."
Pros: For a free anti virus application, it's outstanding. Some complain, that theres no email guard. For those, I recommend spending $27 dollars and getting the premium version. But this software is so effective at blocking all types of malware, email guard is not really necessary. Email viruses come in compressed and other email attachments, not in a written email. People should already know this and should be careful. If you try to download and open an infected email attachment, it will stop you in your tracks. It has the largest data base there is, runs light, though not real fast and is excellent at detecting and removing viruses, trojans, worms and even some spyware, It's also very user friendly. This is an exceptionally good, free anti virus application that runs great with "Vista" and "XP".
Cons: No cons at all with this application. This is the best, free anti virus software available.

Version: Avira AntiVir Personal - Free Antivirus 8.2.0.334
Pros: I've used every free anti virus software ever made and none can out perform this one. Best detection and removal I've ever seen in freeware. I've been using it for over a year and have been virus and trojan free the whole time. To top it off, I have bad surfing habits. "Avast" is good too, and fun but this is the only free anti virus I'll use and recommend so strongly.
Cons: None at all. Whine about this program and your a troll.
