    Free anti-virus software?

    My AVG free virus protection has run out - Can anyone recommend a free replacement?
    Thanks in advance

    I don't have any expertise in this - but I thought you could still get AVG Free??

    Another thought... I have free anti-virus software from my bank's online banking website. Barclays offer Kaspersky Internet Security for free - I think other banks may do the same.

    AVG Free annoyed me a bit so I switched to Avast! which is also free.

    Yarr.

    It hasn't - they're just trying to scare you into upgrading. Download the latest version here and it should stop any annoying messages.

    That's pretty much what I thought but was obviously having a dim moment about where to go for new software...doh!
