The best ever free Anti-Virus software is Avast Home edition.

It boasts of so many features such as WebScanner and Chat Guard etc...

You should try AVG , its small and takes less resources but still powerfull as norton. I have used it for 4 years and still its the best anti virus software for me.

I know that but personally I am now against using AVS! I like this way better with a lighter system!
