Top 5 Free Antivirus Software

The antivirus market is so crowded nowadays that customers are flooded with all kinds of solutions, each claiming it has the best features in its category. But why not choose an antivirus software that perfectly integrates into Windows and more, why not choose one that's created even by the same developers that worked on the operating system?
So here is the top 5 free antiviruses...


1. Microsoft Security Essential

Microsoft Security Essentials might be the surprising player on the antivirus market and although wearing the badge of the Redmond-based giant, people are still reluctant when it comes to installing it.

At the first glance, Microsoft Security Essentials might seem a pretty basic and simple solution that's not able to provide better protection than one of the many freebies out there. We mean, just a 7 MB installer kit? Freeware? Developed by Microsoft? There must be a catch somewhere...

It's not actually. Microsoft Security Essentials works as great as any other top antivirus products out there. Easy and fast installation, very fast scanning processes and amazingly quick updates delivered to you computer as fast as they're released by the folks over at the Redmond-based software manufacturer.

Although its Microsoft badge would recommend this app as a number one from all points of view, Microsoft Security Essentials is not that great when talking about interface. It's enough to help you get your job done, but nothing too fancy, nothing too shiny and nothing that could make you feel like you're using an application developed by one of the biggest companies in the world.

3. Avast

Avast made great strides in its previous update. Version 5 set the stage for the modern, massively popular, and free security suite with a new interface that ditched a quirky, late-'90s jukebox style for a more polished look. Easier to navigate, it also became easier to add new features.
