Does anyone know of any decent anti-virus programs that I can download for free? I had AVG before but got rid of it because I thought it was making my laptop really slow.

Suggestions?

ad-aware SE is good for adaware. and spybot or super antispyware  for spyware.

Avast! is the best free one that I know of.

there are a few free ones, however, if you can buy one, that's what i would do. they're expensive but work so much better. i have nortons. mcafee is also good.

Spybot

The only free anti-virus out there I can really recommend is Avast. It works great and it actually finds stuff. Another great thing about it, is that it can be run at the same time as Zone Alarm  Free firewall, with the both of them you are basically protected and good to go.

Avast and AVG are the highest rated.. No idea why you had problems with AVG! I use it and it runs fine!
