I like AVG from Grisoft Software... http://www.grisoft.com/
They have recently put out their new version, so their web is full of it, but search for older version (I believe it is v.6), that one has free version.

Hi
With the recent epidemic of virusses and worms GFI's announcement of FREE
antivirus for MS Echange http://www.gfi.com/news/en/msec8freeware.htm
couldn't have been timed any better.  Having read the announcement I
contacted the company asking for the catch,  and was told that it is a time
unlimited version (well for 2 years anyway)  BUT missing some of the
functionalty of the commercial version.

My questiun to the list is what other FREE quality antivirus tools are there
out there, I'm particularly looking for the end hosts but may as well
include other solutions.  I always used to recommend  CA's InnoculateIT,
that is until they started charging for it.

recommendations ?
