Looking for the
best free antivirus software? AVG AntiVirus FREE is obviously our favorite
pick, but if you need an unbiased review of the best free antivirus program,
you’re in luck. On February 11, 2019, PC Mag’s Neil Rubenking rounded up the top 10 free antivirus
programs for 2019, with handy links to his unbiased, independent reviews for
each. So if you’re in need of free protection for Windows 7, 8, or 10.
Kaspersky Free
Antivirus is our top choice, but Bitdefender Antivirus Free and Avast Free
Antivirus aren't far behind.
Your guide to the best free antivirus apps
that will protect Windows PCs and laptops.
Malware attacks
happen every single day, so it's important to protect your computer from them.
Antivirus doesn't have to cost a fortune, though. In fact, there are plenty of
free options available that will go a long way to keeping your computer -
and data - safe from hackers. Here are six free antivirus apps available for
your PC.
Should you get free antivirus?
With several huge malware and ransomware attacks making the
headlines over the past couple of years, no-one should be under the illusion
that they can get away without running any antivirus software. Since it doesn't
have to cost any money, there's really no excuse.
While free antivirus doesn't always offer the most complete
protection, it's better than having none at all and free versions often use the
same 'engine' as their paid-for products.
Is
free antivirus really free?
Yes it
is. But you may trade off some privacy. For example, Avast and AVG’s
privacy policy clearly explains how it uses your personal and non-personal
information when you download and use its free product.
You grant it the right to share some of your (non-personal) information to
third parties, which may include advertisers.
Does
free antivirus software work?
Privacy is perhaps not the most important factor. Antivirus
software free is designed to prevent your PC and laptop - plus phone and tablet -
from being infected by malicious code which could cause issues ranging from
annoying pop-ups through to stealing your personal information or even deleting
or encrypting your files.
Best Free Antivirus software reviews
Kaspersky FreeAntivirus
Kaspersky Lab
doesn't advertise that it has a free antivirus product, and doesn't make it
easy to find the download page. Too bad, because
this is one of the best free antivirus products we've ever tested, with a
no-nonsense but comprehensible interface, a light-to-moderate system-performance
impact and Kaspersky's unbeatable malware protection. The only reason we're not
giving Kaspersky Free Antivirus a 4.5/5 rating is because it offers no extra
features.

Bitdefender AntivirusFree Edition
Like Kaspersky, Bitdefender Antivirus Free
Edition offers
nothing but the basics, and its malware protection is just as good, if a bit
more prone to false-positive malware detections. Its scans are lighter on the
system than Kaspersky's, but it offers fewer options — you can't even schedule
a scan. It's best for users who want a set-it-and-forget-it security solution
for themselves, or for a loved one.

Avast Free Antivirus
The malware
protection in Avast Free Antivirus is a peg down from the top, but it's got the best
assortment of extra goodies for a free antivirus program, including a password
manager, a hardened browser and a network scanner. The program is also very
customizable and offers limited access to Avast's VPN service. However, it
caused a pretty heavy system load in our testing.

Microsoft WindowsDefender
Microsoft's
built-in antivirus software has finally reached the big leagues. Windows Defender won't beat
Bitdefender or Kaspersky in malware protection, but it holds its own against
other free antivirus products while delivering a small system-performance
impact and a surprising number of extra features, including parental controls
and protection for all browsers. For the first time, we can recommend using
Windows Defender as your primary antivirus solution.

AVG AntiVirus Free
AVG shares
Avast's decent if unspectacular malware-detection engine while having a much
lighter system-performance impact. But AVG AntiVirus Free has
far fewer useful extra features than Avast Free Antivirus. The good news is
that AVG's wide range of customization options and its file shredder are still
available; the bad news is that there's no compelling reason to pick AVG over
Windows Defender.

Avira Free Antivirus
Avira Free Antivirus was the best
free antivirus option just a few years ago, before Bitdefender and Kaspersky
jumped into the ring and Avast, AVG and Windows Defender raised their game. Now
Avira's malware protection is in the middle of the pack. Its numerous extra
features are mostly just teases for paid services, and its system-performance
impact is remarkably heavy. We do like that it's still got a wide range of
customization options.

Panda Free Antivirus
Panda doesn't
take part in every lab test whose results we use, so its malware protection is
a bit of an enigma. We liked Panda Free Antivirus' high degree of customization options and its appealing
interface. We didn't like the constant ads for other Panda products, the
attempts to hijack your web browser, and the fact that unlike every other
antivirus company, Panda won't let you opt out of automatic system-data
collection.

MalwarebytesAnti-Malware Free
Malwarebytes
Anti-Malware Free is not antivirus software. It's more of a malware-removal
tool. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Free can't protect a PC from infection, but it
does an excellent job of cleaning out malware that's already on your system.
Plus, it doesn't interfere with any antivirus software that's already
installed. We recommend Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Free as a complement to any
antivirus program.
