Free anti-virus software??

Hey guys, I have just purchased a PC that came bundled with norton. I'd rather not use it as I've had nothing but bad experiences with it in the past and it really does seem to slow the machine up.

Has anybody got any recommendations for any free antivirus software I could use, I know there are several out there.

Thanks for your help!!

AVAST is pretty good. I installed it on my mums machine and she has had no issues.

Norton IS a bloody virus, if you ask me......

No idea where it is but remember seeing a test with different products to see how much system resources different ones used. Norton came well ahead of everything else, so probably not worth trying without quad cpu and 5GB RAM...

I tried avg on laptop and panda on desktop, although panda then told me it was trial, and havent bothered with it since. Used to use McAfee for years without too many problems, but noticed the difference switching to avg!

AVG free FTW.

Works fine on pre-historic PCs too.
