A suggested anitvirus software
I just wanted to know what league would suggest for an antivirus software (free one). I've been told avast is good (and i've downloaded it here http://www.avast.com/get/8IBmzP9u )

Avast is pretty good. Some people like comodo, but I find it to be pretty bloated, and if you only need an antivirus because you like your current firewall, then it just isn't as good for pure antivirus needs.
Dont get avg. Save your time, effort, and hard drive space, it really isn't worth it.
I used to use AVG years ago. Then Windows pushed out some update that made it go nuts, so I switched over to Avast at that point. Given my experience, I would shy away from AVG still, even though it's been a long time since I've used it.
I've been happy with Avast so far, and don't expect that I'll be changing off of it any time soon. I've only had a couple minor issues with it, which were more due to poorly-written applications and not so much the fault of Avast.
I know a lot of people also just use Microsoft Security Essentials. Never tried it myself, but I hear it is pretty good, too.
So based on personal experience, I'd say go with Avast. But I think that MSE would also be a decent choice, just based on everything I've heard about it.
Avira
I also use Avast and have for a good 4 years now. I haven't had any issues with it.
Well I have only had one virus for the 15 years I'v been on a computer so heres my little tricks of the trade.

Also, place you knowledge into reading, learn how they create such things learn what is out there what it new in the 'virus' scene be ahead of the pack not the man getting attacked by a wild volibear or a bunny riven, gotta be a Jax of all trades or a king tryndamere.
Your forever welcome, Vash
PS. Never Use A AntiVirus That Runs All The Time, If it's FREE, it's more then likely bypassed if they can make torrents and programs to make paid programs FREE, I'm sure as hell they can easily snipe past one, but in any case take those websites down, never fear interweb again.
