Does anyone have any suggestions on where I can download free internet antivirus security for my computer? I may sound cheap but I really don't feel like spending 70 bucks to purchase anything. I've used Norton Trialware as well as AVG, but don't know of any other well-known and safe brands. Any suggestions? Thanks.
 
Avast anti-virus which better definitions, anti-spyware and anti-rootkit built in, faster and more reliable:

Use RevoUninstaller to remove any previous antivirus installations:

It's faster and better than add / remove applet.
When you run it highlight the item then select uninstall in next window select Advanced and click Next, follow prompts when uninstalled it will scan registry and drive for leftover files / folders,click + sign to expand all results and tick ONLY the bold items and follow prompts.
 
there are loads of them try
Avira -

Avast -

AVG -
http://www.computeractive.co.uk/vnunet/downloads/2129071/avg-antivirus-free-edition
they are all free and full antivirus progams and not trial programs, note only have one antivirus program installed at any time so if you have any others installed (even expired trial version) then you will have to remove then first through your start menu, then control panel, then add/remove programs, also be careful of what site you use to download free antivirus programs from as some sites will download viruses instead of an antivirus program
