Anyone recommend a good free antivirus? Been using AVG for years but it's done a Norton and turned into useless bloatware. Can't turn the damn thing off either and stopping a scan takes half the day. So yeah, ideas?

Try avast, its hands down the best AV i've ever tried.

sometimes it's a tad overzealous but they are fast enough to fix it.

avast is also bloated, microsoft security essentials is very unobtrusive.

I wouldn't use a free AV, but if I had to... Microsoft Security Essentials.
