Currently the best free Antivirus software with firewall?

comodo internet security suite free version would be my choice--includes firewall etc

i read some reviews and avast did better than comodo at av detection but the review from 2010
in the past few months I read one of the magazine reviews at the magazine stand
that was really detailed with benching but I can remember what mag it was
I tried searching PC Mag and PC World on google but no luck

on another thread somebody else also mentioned Avast

kind of taking a running vote on recommendations

I will be going over to a Cablevision which I think is Time Warner cable modem
curious what AV they offer

Stick with Norton.

I do like Nortons and $27 is a great price

so far I think that I would try Avast from reading reviews and comments from members
but if I didnt like it than if I can get a deal for $30 to get Nortons I would go back to it

I had 2010,2011 and 2012 and minimal viruses
the few viruses I did get were removed quickly

I also do scans with MalwareBytes,Kaspersky virus scan and Mcafee Stinger
on regular basis and havent had any serious issues
a rare adware but no real malware

I prefer Norton and GDATA Internet Security, Gdata is a dual antivirus engine Avast and Bitdefender combined under one gui.

Hi  

My computer shops fix viruses...

Norton Internet Security 2012 IS THE BEST paid by far...

MSE is the best of a bad bunch of free ones....

Seen viruses with ALL the free ones....

NEVER seen a virus on a Norton 2012 machine as long as its up to date...

All the best Brett  

 
dear king
subject- sugesting free av
in response to your advertisement in tom's news i am here to present my thought.
Hope you will like it
Thankyou

karpersky internet security 2012 (not the antivirus security) have firewall too, it have 30 days trial subscription too. Rescue disk, isolation folder (can run suspected files in tht folder without causing damage to other system (atleast it is the function of that folder but i never tried that   ))
oh but i think that it do not support boot time scan
i use it as a free av beacause of a hidden feature (check pm)  
it crashes too, but only sometimes (rarely)

Couldnt you just download avast and bitdefender for free or is there a benefit to paying for the whole GDATA package?

Best answer selected by king smp.

Paid: Kaspersky and NOD32 easily.

Free: Microsoft Security Essentials.

I have been using free Avast in conjunction with manual scans with Malware Bytes and so far working pretty good
