whats a good Free antivirus?

my computer crashed last night and i didn't find out until later today. I think it may have a virus or something because theres a few things changed about my desktop and the whole thing is running much slower. Whats a good free antivurs or a premium one i could get with torrents?

1. Whipe your computer (set back to factory defaults and erase EVERYTHING)
2. Torrents will give you viruses, dont believe me? Then huh, why do you need antivirus? ._.
3. Buy Eset, you can get a disk at any computer store for 40-50 bucks.
4. Install it
5. Dont go to ANY questionable websites, even if youve used it before.
6. Dont go to Adult sites, you know what I mean, theyre LOADED with viruses and you get infected from just clicking the google link.
7. Dont use friends flashdrives, this is like sharing n33dles but with computers... BAD
8. Dont try to get Illegal stuffs like antivirus software, because believe it or not, pirated antivirus software is almost gaureenteed to be infected with viruses, irronic aint it?

Follow these steps, never get another crash or virus... (btw, pray to GOD you dont have a rootkit bug on your machine, it can get on your computer without you knowing and stay on even after if you restore your computer. My dad had a customer with 1 once, they are dang near IMPOSSIBLE to remove or even find. Youll need to throw out your computer)

Good luck to you sir!

Do NOT use Avg or Avast.

Basilmarket doesn't support software piracy, so forget about discussing torrents here.
You don't need to steal anything anyway. Most anti-virus programs have free versions that are completely legit and capable.

Try "Microsoft Security Essentials" for a free, easy to use anti-virus, and back it up with "Malwarebytes Anti-Malware" free version to scan for spyware.
Using both these products will help find and remove virus/spyware infections.

Be sure to remember to update Malwarebytes every time before you scan with it to be sure it can find all the newest threats.
