The Top 10 Best Free Antivirus Programs 2012

Everyone should take care about computer viruses cause one nasty virus could  stop your computer from working at all. What you need is the best antivirus software possible on your computer. Luckily, some of the best are also completely free!

Many companies offer free versions of their popular antivirus programs for home users while offering versions with more advanced features as an upgrade option for professional and business users.

These are the best antivirus programs that are completely free and work similarly to expensive programs from companies like Norton and McAfee.



Avast! Free Antivirus:One big reason I included avast! Free Antivirus as a best free antivirus program is because of its "heuristics engine" which can detect previously unknown viruses and other malware. During the avast! installation, you're asked to install the free Google Chrome browser. It's not required so if you're not interested just uncheck the box.  Download it



 AVG Anti-Virus Free 2012:The huge number of premium features, frequency of updating, and install-it-and-forget-it aspect of AVG's Anti-Virus Free really do make it the best of the best free antivirus programs available today.Download it



Microsoft Security Essentials:Two of the biggest reasons I added Microsoft Security Essentials to this list of the best free antivirus software is because it's directly from Microsoft and also because it's very easy to see if you're computer is secure from threats: if the icon next to your clock is green, you're in good; if it's red, something is wrong.

Avira AntiVir Personal:The scope of malware that Avira AntiVir Personal can keep you safe from is alone enough to make it one of the best free antivirus software programs but the heuristics and ease of use add to its value too.                                                                  Tip: You're asked to register during the Avira AntiVir Personal installation but it's optional. Just uncheck the box and continue with the install.Download it



Panda Cloud Antivirus:Panda Cloud Antivirus tries to install a toolbar and set Yahoo! as your browser's home page during the installation process so uncheck the boxes before continuing if you don't want them.Download it



Comodo Free Antivirus:Offers excellent malware detection and cleanup rates which is, of course, the main thing you will be looking for.Unfortunately, high CPU usage may pose problems for some users though.Download it



 Pc Tools Antivirus Free: Low memory usage but high CPU usage – strange!If you are someone who schedules scans rather than using them on demand then this may be a good choice but I myself will steer well clear of this one.Download it



 IObit Malware Fighter:A bit of a mixed bag this one – spotted problems other programs missed but I’m not entirely convinced that virus definitions are updating properly.If they are then this is well worth consideration. If they aren’t then you will likely want to skip this one.



Immunet Protect FREE : is a unique, cloud-based antivirus program.I think Protect FREE from Immunet is one of the best free antivirus programs for several reasons. Download it



BitDefender Free Edition : is your chance to use one of the world's most effective antivirus engines for free!BitDefender Free Edition is an on-demand virus scanner, which is best used in a system recovery or forensics role.Download it



These are free antivirus softwares which can be run on windows operating system.I hope these antivirus will work fine for you.

Thank you.
