5 free antiviruses for Windows

    Leading developers of antivirus software have taken care of popularizing their products: almost every one of them has a free version of antivirus that demonstrates the main possibility of paid
    applications - detection and removal of malware.

    Consider 5 programs and their main features.
    1. Built on the basis of original products from the developer.
    2. Do not provide real-time protection.
    3. The program does not include a module for automatic updating of virus databases, therefore, for a new computer scan, you will need to download the antivirus again with the latest virus databases. An exception, Norton Security Scan - is automatically updated with every scan.
    4. Antiviruses do not conflict with other antivirus programs and can be used as an additional tool for the already installed basic computer protection.

    Each time the computer is infected, and the installed security program does not cope with the threat, you can use the following antiviruses:
