Default Free Anti Virus

I am currently using AVG free edition, but it prompt me that will discontinue middle of next month. Not sure is the version I install will discontinue or they just totally stop providing free? Anyone know is there any other free anti virus software?

In my opinion the best free antivirus for Windows is Avast - since AVG is known to not detect all viruses, particularly Trojans. You can get Avast from here:
http://avast.com/eng/download-avast-...astHomeEdition
It's available in many languages, including Malay

Never heard about Avast before. Thanks anyway, I will download now and give it a try. BTW, I am a Chinese not Malay.

Well, I am sure that it also has a Chinese version also. My geography skills are mediocre at best.

I am just installed English version and registered. But why after I key in the License Key in "About Avast", it does not show anything? I can even click again and again the button?

I have to agree with Ashley , I have been using Avast for more than a year and have never had any problems at all. Also it is not a system memory hog like other anti-virus programs.
