Free PC & Anti Virus Help (or just excellent value for money)
9 Answers
Can anyone recommend some tried & tested sites where you can get free antivirus downloads (trials are good, too)? I would also be interested in knowing where you can get PC Help or PC related programs (eg. Word) either for free or that have been tried and tested and are excellent value for money? Thanks in advance.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I have used AVG antivirus for a while now and find it to be excellent for a free virus checker....find it here http://www.grisoft.com
as for other stuff why not try WinMX or Kazaa and download cracked versions for any software that you want? Not that would recommend this or condone it :>)
The downloads section of ZDnet.com has loads of freeware/shareware

Just do a search on what you are looking for. You can then refine the results to just free stuff. Here is a search I did for free antivirus software:
