   Avira or avast are the best free ones.

   Use these free programs once a week to make sure nothing got missed,, malwarebytes’ antimalware, and superantispyware.

   There are many actually, but i will present you 2 most reliable and effective ones, based on my opinion & experience.

   ♣ Avira
   ♣ Avast!

   Avira has the best detection rate among all anti-virus program, its fast, doesn’t slow down your computer, great for scanning files / folders / drives, reliable removal, easy to use and configure… Generally, if you are downloading a lot / torrent / p2p / web Avira is the choice for you.

   But if you aren’t as heavy downloader, then rather pick Avast!. Avast! has really advanced protection on the net ( better protection when surfing ), it will find bad scripts in malicious websites and block connection with the site. Its detection rate is worse than Avira’s, if you ask me it has awfully complicated main panel and i think it generates a LOT of false positives, basically for each keygen and crack.

   So :

   Heavy downloaders : pick Avira
   Heavy surfers : pick Avast!

   They can be downloaded through :

   ♣ http://www.download.com
   ♣ http://www.filehippo.com
   ♣ http://www.softpedia.com

   Otherwise :

   ♣ Don’t visit porn / fraud / money scams / poker / serial key websites
   ♣ Install McAfee SiteAdvisor, it will warn you which sites are dangerous
   ♣ Always scan everything you download
   ♣ Don’t open ANY email you don’t know, it doesn’t need attachment to infect you

   Hope it helped.

   Alright, well when looking for free anti virus solutions, there are many factors to think about, even though they are free. FOr one, speed is big, and two of the best for speed are Avira personal and Avast! Home Edition. Moving on, another one is detection rates. The best detection rate is Avast, and then Avira following closely behind, while avast has some catching up to do. Another is features. AVG free cannot heal root kits, which may be why it did nothing to heal it for you.

   I would suggest either avira or avast, and pairing it up with a good on demand scanner, like malwarebytes, or superantispyware.
