AVG is still free. If you go to http://free.grisoft.com/ , see there where is says FREE BASIC PROTECTION, and then subsequently also gives you a download link right below it? Yeah, still free and still great!

AVG is still free

http://free.grisoft.com/doc/2/

it just gives you the basic virus protection with no extras, tech support, firewall, etc.

Hi, I use ClamAV. There is a windows version called ClamWIN. http://www.clamwin.com/

clamwin does not have an on access scanner, only scheduled scans.

Please note that ClamWin Free Antivirus does not include an on-access real-time scanner. You need to manually scan a file in order to detect a virus or spyware.

True, but it does have an Outlook plug-in. I look forward to it having an on-access scanner though!

AVG is still my #1 recommendation. the ones by comodo sound great as well.
that's the company that makes my FIREWALL. much better than zonealarm.
