With respect to the Best Free Antivirus 2015 competition, I'm starting a thread series where users of the various products will be joining together to state the Pro's and Con's of each antivirus/internet security software and why they think it is a contender or not for the Best Free Antivirus.
The first post will be updated by me with what user's think is good and bad about the product, so an informed decision can be made for newcomers.
