Hi LIL NOOB, and welcome to the forum.

Firstly, you don't need the heavy blocked text. Normal font will get you the same exellent service we always provide here.

Secondly, take your pick from one of these free alternatives. All good.

Avast Home Version:

Antivir:

This one not as popular as it used to be:

AVG Free:

And have a read of this section of the forum:

Welcome LIL NOOB

The avast! anti virus can be renewed for up to 14 months but you have to request a license key:

The forum is very good:

There is an issue with activating Home right now but I am sure that it will be resolved quickly:

By the way, I am a happy avast! anti virus user and I even purchased a Professional upgrade because I like it.

I just found this video that shows how to insert the registration key:

The registration issue has been resolved.
