I use avg free by grisoft. I like it much bet6ter than avast and itis much easier to understand on scanning than avast...try avg instead. I have used avg for quite sometime now and never had a problem.
at the top lefthand side of their page click on products then click on download avg free.
But remove avast first.

Best free one is Avast. I have used this antivirus program for nine years in two computers. An I can tell you 100% for certain there is no embedded spyware, adware or trojans in this program. (If it did I would not use it as I have medical data on patients world wide in my pc). never had one virus in over nine years.
Best one time purchase for life that includes all new versions, frequent automatic updates and excellent support. Has an excellent realtime scanner that really catches a virus before it will enter your system and clean, delete or placed in their vault. I use this program in my backup pc. This company is out of Beijing, China. Twister Trojan antivirus http://www.filseclab.com
Their own government uses this software.
They charge you a one time fee, for life that includes all new versions and updates.

Well anti virus software you can have gratis from Yahoo when you select a yahoo as your home page-download the latest Yahoo Internet explorer browser with a Yahoo toolbar from http://www.yahoo.com if you like to pay for it- Norton is still best but you have to check with CA anti virus software,firewall,and McAfee it's depends.You can also rely on Microsoft Security software if you have Window operating system.It's also free when you download from Microsoft website.

My Avast didn't come with adware. Guess it depends on where you got it. Did you get it from Avast or a third party site?
