Well, here's how it goes: My comp. has this annoying virus that spreads via Windows Live Messenger by fabricating a file transfer request and, upon accepting that request, you've contracted the virus. I don't know if it's dangerous or anything, but it's VERY annoying and my avast! 4 Home Edition FREE won't pick it up. My friend suggests PC Tools AntiVirus… I've heard good things about avast! and I don't wanna be so quick to uninstall it. Also, if you know any FREE AntiVirus software that's better than the two above mentioned, please, don't hesitate to recommend it.

avast! 4 Home Edition Free, PC Tools AntiVirus Free Edition is rubbish. By the way, I use Avira AntiVir, probably the best free AntiVirus.

I agree, Avast! Home Edition is great. I have never had a problem with it, and it doesn't hog resources a bit. It also stops the virus before it infects your pc which is awesome.

please dont download and install PC Tools antivirus its junk. the only tool that is good from their company was the registry cleaner, but even now that sucks..
Avast to be 100% is actually one of the best antivirus software thats out.. it picked up a virus that AVG left out..
I currently use NOD32 because its by far the best paid version of security but if your on a budget get AVAST no questions asked.
