What antivirus should I use?

I've heard this question alot? What antivirus should I use? There are ton of antivirus products out there, so choosing one can seem confusing. I'm sure you've heard of Norton or McAfee. I'm going to tell you right now, don't bother. They're expensive, they use a lot of resources (slowing your computer down) and they only do an ok job. I worked for a few years reparing PCs. I saw a lot of people using these antivirus products and they weren't working.

My personal recommendation is AVG Anti-Virus free. It's free, low maintenance, and it works. I've used it for a couple years now and have had no virus problems. I would highly recommend it.

There are other antiviruses out there, don't be afraid to give them a try.
