One solution I have found is <a href=\"http:\/\/download.cnet.com\/AVG-Anti-Virus-Free-Edition-2012\/3000-2239_4-10320142.html?part=dl-avg_free_us&amp;subj=dl&amp;tag=button\" target=\"_blank\">AVG Anti-Virus<\/a>, it&#8217;s free for private, non-commercial, single home computer use. When I initially came across it years ago, it wasn&#8217;t very good at all, but its&#8217; come a long way since then and is pretty solid now. It&#8217;s free, so you can&#8217;t ask for much more, the price is right and it&#8217;s a million times better than not having any anti-virus software at all.<\/p>\n<p>For anyone that uses Comcast internet, it&#8217;s not very well-known, but they offer <a href=\"http:\/\/xfinity.comcast.net\/constantguard\/Products\/CGPS\/norton\/?cid=NET_33_641\" target=\"_blank\">Norton anti-virus<\/a> for free.<\/p>\n<p>For CenturyLink (Qwest) internet customers, they also offer <a href=\"http:\/\/qwest.centurylink.com\/internethelp\/security-norton.html\" target=\"_blank\">Norton anti-virus<\/a> for free.<\/p>\n<p>So if you come across a computer without anti-virus, check who their ISP is and you might be surprised that they offer a free anti-virus solution. All else fails and if a pay solution is not possible, AVG is a solid plan B.<\/p>\n<div class=\"thanks_button_div\" \n                  style=\"float: left; margin-right: 10px;\"><div id=\"thanksButtonDiv_112_1\" style=\"background-image:url(http:\/\/tek-files.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/thanks-you-counter-button\/images\/thanks_compact_blue1.png); background-repeat:no-repeat; float: left; display: inline;\"\n                onmouseover=\"javascript:thankYouChangeButtonImage('thanksButtonDiv_112_1', true);\" \n                onmouseout=\"javascript:thankYouChangeButtonImage('thanksButtonDiv_112_1', false);\"\n                onclick=\"javascript:thankYouChangeButtonImage('thanksButtonDiv_112_1', false);\" >\n                <input type=\"button\" onclick=\"thankYouButtonClick(112, 'You left &ldquo;Thanks&rdquo; already for this post')\" value=\"Like 0\"\n                  class=\"thanks_button thanks_compact thanks_blue1\"\n                  style=\"  font-family: Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: normal;; color:#ffffff;\"\n                  id=\"thanksButton_112_1\" title=\"Click to leave &ldquo;Thanks&rdquo; for this post\"\/>\n             <\/div><div id=\"ajax_loader_112_1\" style=\"display:inline;visibility: hidden;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"ajax loader\" src=\"http:\/\/tek-files.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/thanks-you-counter-button\/images\/ajax-loader.gif\" \/><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every now and then I&#8217;ll come across a person without anti-virus software on their computer.
