Hi all

What would your recommendation for a (free) replacement be?

"As a result, after April 8, 2014, technical assistance for Windows XP will no longer be available, including automatic updates that help protect your PC. Microsoft will also stop providing Microsoft Security Essentials for download on Windows XP on this date."

I once used a German tool (Avir?) but it was very annoying with full-screen popups asking you to buy a license - turning itself into a marketing virus. MSE was a breeze to install on such machines.
