there's still a free option when you renew... at least there has been for the last 8 years or so...

yes. Avast is still free. It makes you renew the "free"-ness each year with your email address.
But it's still free. The free download button is usually grey as opposed to green.

Thanks a lot for your reply. Since I ordered Kaspereskey, I am going to use it for a while. If that is not good, I will check with your option

I second Richard's suggestion of MSE and would add running Malwarebytes(the free version) once a week for peace of mind.

Thank you. I have one doubt. My windows is not genuine. Is that a problem for that?

Shhhh. Not so loud. Never post anything like that on public forums and, more importantly, ...
ALWAYS use genuine software.

Avast free and then behave yourself on the 'net.
Remember as is in life, there is NO such thing as internet security.

Hi Sorry I could not understand what you meant. Do you mean that Avast is better one? Thank you.

All my Windowses began to work way better when I decided to avoid to install any kind of antivirus. On the new PCs it's the very first thing I remove.
I believe it's 10+ years I don't use an antivirus and my PCs work as a charm!
I only keep my firewall on...

Hmm but, I feel my PC is full of Viruses. Even If I delete those (Using Avast anti virus). After some days it will get slow again. So I thought to get an anti virus

I don't know what you mean about "viruses". My colleagues PCs have antiviruses which claim for supposed "viruses" on files they create by themselves.
Learn to inspect the Windows register and avoid to click-'n-run what you receive by e-mail: you'll have a faster PC just because the major slowing app is the Antivirus!

My system is taking much time to load the softwares, for example browsers, paint, word, excel , visual studio etc... so i thought it is because of viruses.

Only one thing anyone could say to this and that's - IDIOT!

Thanks for your consideration, but I stick to my ideas.

OK - stick to your neanderthal ideas.
If it wasn't for irresponsible users like you there would be far fewer viruses around and the safer it would be be for everyone.

You should prove your thesis, but -of course- is it up to you do it or not.
The best proof I can say is that I never had any problem. Since Vista, it's rather difficult to run/install something unexpected without explicitly do that (unless you remove the UAC as many users do, and THAT'S WRONG!).
Feel free to do it, if you like...

Quote: The best proof I can say is that I never had any problem.
That's like the drivers who say they've never had an accident but they've seen quite a few in the wing mirror! Or the parents that complain to teachers when their kids start swearing because "they don't #%!@* get it from me!"
As with any biological virus you could very easily be a carrier without showing any symptoms. UAC does not provide you with any protection, merely with an administrative headache. That's why people disable it. Anti-virus does provide you with protection and, far more importantly, everybody else! You may have been lucky so far but there is absolutely nothing to suggest that you will continue to be so ad infinitum. Is a marginal performance increase really worth risking your entire system on?
