I received some emails in the last days of visitors to my site who thought that AVG free would cease to exit on 15. of January 2007. I would like to clear the confusion right away by saying that on this date support for AVG free 7.1 will end but AVG free 7.5 by Grisoft will be available and support is guaranteed. Or as the Grisoft themselves announced it:
GRISOFT is announcing a new version of the AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition. This new 7.5 version with improved performance and full compatibility with the latest Windows Vista version is available. Users that are using AVG Free 7.1 will be provided with a specific dialog, within the next few weeks, with the opportunity to choose the right option fulfilling their needs. AVG Free 7.1 version will be discontinued on 15th of Jan 2007.
In case that you are still looking for an antivirus solution other than AVG Free I recommend Antivir which is completely free for personal use. I have been using Antivir for some time now and have not encountered serious issues as of now. I would say that a successful solution depends more on the user behind the keys than on the antivirus program that he is using.
