It has been quite a few years since Tony Klein gave me permission to reproduce and update his popular article.  The most recent update has now been posted.  See

The following note was added to the information about free antivirus programs:

QuoteAlthough AVG continues to be available and free, it was taken over by Avast in 2016 and uses the exact same technology as Avast.  Further, Norton purchased Avira in 2016 and acquired Avast in 2022.
