Best Free Antivirus

I had AVG free for a while but evidently it was insufficient for my computer because I got some viruses and had to completely restore my PC. I am wondering if there is a good antivirus that I won't have to pay for or if I am just dreaming and I need to buy one. Thanks in advance to all those who help.

Best is very subjective. I can tell you what is thought of as best, by many members, free and easy to use

Microsoft Security Essentials. In addition, it was made specifically for Windows.

It has a small footprint and does not conflict with many other programs as some othe A/V

Ditto from a long time AVG user who switched to MSE when it first came out. Excellent advice.

Same exact thing here, switched from AVG to MSE, and agree 100%
