Top free best antivirus programs

In day to day life, our computers get prone to virus and malware attacks, causing system halts and at times loss of data too. In order to save that we need to install good antivirus programs.  There are lots of free  available anti virus software and  I have listed them in random order.


1) Avira Antivirus-
One of the best programs I have seen online and my personal experience of it makes me put this on top of my list. It has the best features and easy to use interface. It also protects against many known and unknown malwares.
 Download  Avira


2) AVG Antivirus-
Another one which has all the features to protect the system. Though I found the interface bit difficult but no doubt it has got the best protection for all the Windows operating system.
Download AVG 

3)  Avast free antivirus-
Avast gives high amount of security and protects the pc from many spyware and malware. The interface shows lots of options which at times are too much for a novice but otherwise it  is a great antivirus to use.
Download Avast 

4) Bit defender antivirus-
I found this antivirus when I was searching for some malware to remove from my computer and I installed this antivirus. User interface is quite simple and its very lightweight. The issue I had was that it removed the Avira antivirus I had on my system and installed itself which I personally did not like.  But it does remove loads of malwares and virus which otherwise are hidden.
Download Bit defender

5) Baidu antivirus-
Though I have not used it but a friend of mine recommended me to try this one. I asked about its features and he told me that it is very light weight and scans usb drives too and detects malicious sites.  
Download Baidu antivirus  

6) Panda cloud antivirus
Based on some reviews I got from people I am associated with, they recommended Panda compared to other expensive chargeable antivirus. Accordingly when I checked this, I found this is light weight and works on all windows OS. Make sure to click on free version when you install this program.
 Download Panda  

7) Spyware terminator-
In my research I found out about this new antivirus which removes the spywares and also gives complete protection. The file size is about 5Mb. 
Download Spyware terminator  

8) Ad-Aware Free Antivirus+
It combines antispyware with free antivirus. Ad-Aware Free Antivirus+ enhances them with real-time protection, download protection and continuously updated filters against malicious URLs, providing top-of-the-line anti-malware protection for the casual computer user. 
Download Ad-Aware

9) Malwarebytes anti Malware-
With easy interface it works on all the malwares fast and effectively. It offers a quick scan, a full scan, and a flash scan to analyze memory and autorun objects.
Download Malwarebytes

10) USBFix-
Finally, I have included this program as I had a recent virus attack which was infecting all the USB drives and after much search I found this useful tool. The virus affecting files was shortcut virus and with this Usbfix  I was able to remove it without much hassle. The only problem was I had to boot my computer in safe mode to properly remove the infection. It detects hidden infected files and safely removes it. Light and easy to use.


All the above information is based on my personal experiences plus reviews from my friends. Personally I would go for Avira or avast and usb fix is a must for all external drives. Hope you liked this.
