i currently have avast, but it doesn't really seem to do anything.....
what do you recommend? i used to use windows security essential, until i noticed a virus running in the background, by hand; and it still didn't picked up the file that it is a virus file, when i was able to find it by hand
so is avast good? i am broke, free please
avast. Fairly good (on resources and effectiveness), clean interface, registration gives free usage for a year, when you need to reregister.

If you dont want to give them your email, you can use a temporary one, they send a confirmation code or something for activation which you need. Then you can use their removal utility to clean it, reinstall and create a new registration.
AVG free has always worked good for me.
I remember AVG used to give alot of fales positives, if you know what I mean.
