Yes, I have moved onto suggesting Avira and Malwarebytes as the AV/anti-malware packages that should be installed on all systems. I no longer recommend AVG, Bitdefender, or Spybot.

Are those free?

Avira: link [www.free-av.com]

Malwarebytes: link [www.malwarebytes.org]

The one gotcha is that Avira's free edition pops up a little ad to buy the paid version once a day. There are ways to disable it, but all you have to do is click OK. Small price to pay for the best, fastest, least obtrusive free AV package there is.
