After a hot ip from somebody on this board a good 3 or 4 (maybe even more) years ago, it seems AVG Anti-Virus will no longer be made available for free. I got a pop-up this morning when I booted up saying it will stop running January 1st, and if I want to continue with it, I need to shell out $29.99 US.

Anyone know of any other virus software options that are safe, legal, and free? Or am I going to have to finally start paying for virus protection (not whining, but after a good chunk of time with a fantastic, free protection program, it's going to suck to have to pay for one)?
