Microsoft Security Essentials
Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) is released by Microsoft in late 2009, is definitely one of the best antivirus software available in the market. It’s incredibly easy to use user interface & extremely lightweight to run on older computers with minimum configuration and yet it works fluid. MSE is capable to remove almost all sorts of viruses, worms, malware and updates automatically.
The reason behind I add MSE in the Top 10 antivirus lists because it’s completely free, there is no commercial version to upgrade for. You can use MSE for your Personal, Business and commercial use without breaking the law. And the biggest reason that it’s directly from Microsoft.

PC Tools Antivirus Free
PC tools antivirus is good antivirus software, offers all the basic virus scanning features, against viruses and spywares. Reason behind adding PC tools antivirus in my top 10 antivirus software not because of it is available free, but is downloaded my many of users and recommended to others.
At my point of view I don’t like it much, and will never try to install it on my PC. There are two reasons behind this, one biggest reason is PC tools antivirus keeps reminding throughout the program about upgrading to its professional version, letting you know that it isn’t a free antivirus tool you are using. And second reason that it only features some of the basic features and others are given as optional for upgrade, while the other software listed above offers them free.
Good list of antivirus.
