Bset freeware antivirus prog

[Zed Rafi]

Hello all,

Can anyone recommend a good anti-virus freeware?

I find Norton Antivirus and PC-Cillin to be good but have to many features
that i don't need (firewall, adware/spyware detector, etc.). I find they
take up too much resources, especially NAV. I want something lighter on my
system.

However, i want something as reliable for virus detection as these $$$wares
(NAV or PC-Cillin). I've never used a freeware antivirus, and don't know how
reliable they are. What is your opinion on the subject? I'd like to have
your opinion on the subject before i make the switch.

thanks a lot
