I am looking for antivirus software
« on: August 28, 2012, 09:36:26 AM »
Hi All,
I am looking for a software suite to protect a windows 7 64 bit machine. It had WSE on it but that was hacked and the machine got infected and malware was loaded.

I want to try something else. I am looking for something that works well and is free. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

For additional malware protection I suggest MalwareBytes free edition. You can run weekly scans with it.
