As the title says I'm looking for a new antivirus. Up till now I've been using Comodo Antivirus. It's great, except that it sometimes stops unknown files executing without telling me. This is becoming rather annoying, any suggestions for other antiviruses?

Please don't PM me asking for help, I will just redirect you to the appropriate forum, where there are others who are far more skilled than me.
I just use whatever default comes with Windows. I don't even know the name, so unless you're doing crazy stupid things, you probably don't need an antivirus. If you want one all the same, I would recommend Avast! You need to sign up, and it does a bit of self-advertising, but otherwise it is fine.

I use Microsoft Security Essentials. It's very simple and it does its job. But Windows Defender functionally took its place after Windows 7, and I doubt it's any worse. xD
I also recommend downloading the free Malwarebytes scanner. You won't be able to schedule a scan so just do it every once in a while.
those of you wondering why i don't have an active RP (so far none). i try. but whenever i get to the rules section of it my computer restarts. computer: i realise what your telling me and i give up.
Okay so if you have Windows 10. Dump Avast as it was just suddenly giving me troubles when I sign in. I have switched to AVG 2015 free and I am loving it. I might even get 2016 pro next year after I get a go pro.

This is not the signature you are looking for.
Banners and such things
Windows Defender is all I use.

I personally use Avast! Antivirus and Malware Bytes, and they seem to get the job done quite well.
Windows firewall comes free with windows, in case no one has mentioned it. couldn't be bothered reading thru.
ah... ok. well AVG works doesnt it?

I have been using avast! AnitVirus for about a year now and it is working fine. Have it installed on my PC and Laptop
Meh. I ditched Avast! and went for MSE after Avast! took kindly to freezing my entire PC a minute or two after startup.
Got real annoying right quick I kid you not.
I was actually looking for some free antivirus software for a friend a few weeks ago and heard that Panda Antivirus was pretty good, here's a link if you want to take a look for yourself http://www.pandasecurity.com/usa/homeusers/solutions/free-antivirus/
MSE is all you need, windows by default has 3 stages of defence. MSE, Firewall and the Security Promt.
Windows Security Essentials on Windows 7.
Thinking about it, I've got to uninstall it because I'm now on Windows 10 and there is Defender...
- C.C.
Dont forget UAC!
- C.C.
UAC = Security Promt ;P Forgot what it was called XD
Linux has just as much chance of getting viruses as Windows. In some cases it can be easier due to the lack of AV's.

AVG is also loving your browsing history
I would suggest switching to something like Avira, also NOD32 is a pretty good package if you want to buy an AV.
Hey everyone, I'm back!
