Best free virus scanner

[Dave Lewis]

Just looking for some recommendations for a free virus scanner I can give out to my home users. All the time my users bring in their home machines to be worked on and they are filled with virus/worms/spy ware. I install ad-aware to clean out the spyware, but I have to install a corporate copy of trend to scan the system and then I remove it. Any susgestions for something free I can give them?

AVG anti-virus software is decent and does not crash new installations .

Second that. Just installed Monday (kicked Norton out) and working fine. No ads, reminders and updates are frequent.

Third that!
I've had it on my computer for years and have installed it on several new installs. Automatic updates of .DAT files.
Pretty cool.

I think I paid $130 US for a 5 license site. Well spent monies. -David

I bet Adesk is getting some of the issues with the web vs. ng syncs resolved.

The web team has resynched the newsgroup servers. Some of the messages did not originally mirror between the HTTP and NNTP servers. What you are seeing is the catch up after resynch.
