Default other free anti-virus?

Hi,
I got a notice this morning that my AVG free anti-virus will no longer be
free after Jan 15. I have the Google listings for free av software but are
there any recommendations for the best free software?
I currently use Zone Alarm, Ad Aware, Spybot S&D and am looking to get
another free, good and compatible AV software to replace AVG before the
deadline.
Thanks,
Glenda

The reference is to AVG 7.1 which will be replaced by AVG 7.5..

I'm happy with Avast here.

Hi Glenda,
I recommend both, visit their websites and read the features and see which
one suite your needs better.
Here are the links:
