(Please note that any products listed above with red notations are extended length trial versions and not actually freeware, but do not confuse them with short term trial versions as are often offered with Norton antivirus software and other similar products.

*The notation of which operating systems are compatible with a given product may not be current or accurate. Please check with the vendor to be sure it will work with your operating system!

Many people in searching for free anti virus download software will find listings for Norton Antivirus software or other commercial antivirus software with the word "free" associated with it only to find that the Free Norton Antivirus software is just a short term trial version or worse yet a shifty advertising gimmick of some kind. A similar thing happens when international internet users do a search for Panda Antivirus gratis only to find a trial version at the end of their search and not Panda Antivirus gratis as they had hoped. Free should mean free!

Windows operating system compatibility as noted above are just guidelines and may not be correct or current. Check the download site of the product before assuming it will work with your system. (Vista notations will be added to products as soon as we verify that they are Vista compatible.)
