Top 5 FREE Antivirus for Windows 7/8/8.1 Users
Avast Antivirus
Avast is the first and the best antivirus software I would recommend to anyone who is facing virus or malware problems in their system. It is available in both FREE as well as PRO version. Almost 200 million PCs and Mobile devices are relying on Avast for virus protection. It also includes browser protection which ensures no virus is entering into your PC through the files you download or websites you visit.
Avast is also available on Google Play store for Android users.

Microsoft Security Essentials
It is the official security software from the Microsoft which comes pre-installed on your Windows. The software provides real-time protection for both your home and/or small business PCs and helps in guarding your Computer against spyware, viruses or any other malicious software.
The best thing about the Microsoft Security Essentials program is that it runs quietly in the background and so you don't have to update it manually.
Kaspersky Antivirus
After the MSE and Avast, I give my vote to yet another awesome security software called 'Kaspersky'. It runs in the real-time and protects your Windows PC against malware and trojans. It also includes the adv. Anti-theft protection feature which lets you find your missing devices using Google maps.

Bitdefender
Bitdefender Antivirus is one more best Antimalware program which is compatible with all Windows versions including the latest one (8.1). It is mostly used for protecting Computers against adware or malicious programs which enters into your PC through the Internet. For better security, it is advised to install the Bitdefender browser extension along with the desktop software.

AVG Free Antivirus Protection
The last one in our list of the best Antivirus Software is the 'AVG'. It is being used on almost 172 million devices including mobiles and tablets. It has got many great features like spyware protection, email/link scanning and many more. I mostly use it to remove malware from my external USB devices and it does wonders.
