Most of these free AV's are just as good as what you can buy. I prefer MSE.
Remember to only install one antivirus!
1) Avast! Home Edition (http://www.majorgeeks.com/Avast_Home_Edition_d1968.html)
2) AVG Free Edition (http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=886)
3) Avira AntiVir Personal (http://www.majorgeeks.com/AntiVir_Personal_Edition_7_d955.html)
4) Microsoft Security Essentials for Windows Vista\Windows 7 (http://majorgeeks.com/Microsoft_Security_Essentials_for_Windows_VistaWindows_7_d6242.html) - 64 bit Download (http://majorgeeks.com/downloadget.php?id=6242&file=5&evp=9112d44b71f157fc5d7fcd7724b088ca)
4-a) Microsoft Security Essentials for Windows XP (http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/)
5) Comodo Antivirus (http://www.majorgeeks.com/Comodo_AntiVirus_d5109.html) (Uncheck during installation "Install Comodo SafeSurf..", Make Comodo my default search provider" and "Make Comodo Search my homepage" if you choose this one)
6) PC Tools AntiVirus Free Edition (http://www.majorgeeks.com/PC_Tools_AntiVirus_Free_Edition_d5469.html)
7) ThreatFire (http://www.threatfire.com/)
It is strongly recommended that you run only one antivirus program at a time. Having more than one antivirus program active in memory uses additional resources and can result in program conflicts and false virus alerts. If you choose to install more than one antivirus program on your computer, then only one of them should be active in memory at a time.
