What's some good anti-virus software that isn't a memory hog? AVG AntiVirus is going away in January and will not be available for free! This sucks. So what do you use to secure your computer?
My firewall is good, my anti-spyware is fine... just an antivirus software that works well...

Go back to grisoft.com (home of AVG), you will indeed find they have a free version out there. I've heard lots of folks use it. Doesn't have all the bells and whistles of AVG. No auto update. Also look into a free anti-virus (open-source, long time to download, and sort of long time to download updates) called clam. (You'll find that clam also imposes itself as a popup logo whenever you run Outlook, if you do.) Two possibilities. And go see majorgeeks.com for free software, and scan yahoo answers here, there was an answer in the past two days (an answer on unexplained popups, if I recall) that gave intense details for antivirus info websites.

Actually, the Free AVG Software is available for 7.5 but it will not install on a server. If you are on 7.1, it will tell you that software will be expiring but you could go to website (a non domain computer could see the free website)

Avast is where it is at. I have heard and used AVG before but Avast is awesome. Not a memory hog. Customizable and it has a light software firewall. I run it on all my pc's at home and work.
Cheers

They are doing away with 7.1 and you have to upgrade to 7.5 which you can do right now,It is still free and works better than ever.
