All free antivirus software only offer basic protection, the best they do is move a virus to quarentine and leave it there. The best picks for free antivirus are still AVG, Avast and Avira, but they all have their own share of flaws. The reason is because of a common practice amongst any software developer: they let you use the most basic tools on the free version of the software, so if you want all the advanced tools you must buy the paid version. Now, if you really want to buy a antivirus, you can pick either Norton or NOD-32.

Get yourself Symantec Endpoint Protection... Even buying it is worth it, bro.
P.S. Spybot S&D works wonders too & it's free.
I have both SEP & SSD on both of my computers and they work amazingly.

^You have to manually update this program once every month or so to keep it updated, by the way.

My school used to have trend micro for a while, and it didn't do crap against viruses. Spybot S&D is your BEST bet as far as free antivirus software goes.
Either Symantec Endpoint Protection or Norton360 will work great, if you're willing to pay for antivirus software.

Anyway, my cousin came to my house to install a different antivirus to my brother's laptop yesterday. I don't know if the download's finished already. BitDefender. I don't know about it.
