   Don’t go with Norton, big no no! From experience it clogs computers and does a rubbish job any way!!!

   Avg Antivirus is good, you may have to do a bit of searching but it’s not that hard to find on the internet. It’s free on some sites, so don’t pay elsewhere!

    I have used AVG Anti Virus, Zone Alarm Firewall, Spy-bot Search and Destroy and Ad Aware both spyware killers for years. They are all free for personal use and I have had no trouble with Viruses Trojans etc. AVG does not slow the system down as much as some other products and Zone Alarm allows a lot of personal configuration unlike the Windows Firewall. They can all be downloaded from the following link. http://www.computeractive.co.uk/… On the home page select downloads and then the appropriate category.I also use Windows Defender from the Microsoft site. It is safe to use two anti-spy products but never use more than one A/V as it can cause conflicts. You should run A/V and anti spy weekly. Hope this helps.

    Hi I have been using Panda for 4 years and I always buy a new OEM disc with 3 licenses and support every year from one of the vendors on eBay. My last one cost £8 but looking at the prices now it would be about £15.
    Why not buy one off eBay, the protection will be better than a free anti-virus program, the firewall alone is better than most.

    try these 2 below

    The answer to your question will differ from person to person as they will tell you that the one they use is the best, but that is there personal preference.
    From my experience , antivirus and anti spy ware is only as good as its data base, it does not matter, which one it is, if it has not got the virus in its data base then it will not pick up that particular virus,
    There are thousands of wild viruses out there; your guess to how many is as good as mine. So I think in picking any antivirus and antispyware, is down to personal choice and which one you are happy with.
    I have tried out most of them, paid and free versions and they all have their good points and their bad points. The two that I would not recommend, from my experience with them are Norton and Mcafee.
    My experience with Norton was that it slowed my pc down that it was like having a virus installed, and Mcafee would not work for me. I have tried True Sword, did not think much of it gets rid of 3 viruses and then you have to buy it to remove the rest. That did not impress me.
    Ones that I would recommend are AVG, ZONE ALARM, + OTHERS
    antivirus and spyware programs, if you are looking for a free antivirus and spyware, well I have been using these two for the last couple of month or so, on a trial by myself, and so far, they are as good as any, that I have tried, if not better, since installing them they have picked up any and all known viruses and spyware.
    The spyware impressed me, when I installed a torrent tool bar, that was full of spyware it not only removed the spyware it removed the tool bar as well, which impressed me.
    The two programs are AVAST HOME and SPYWARE TERMINATOR; I would recommend these two programs to protect your systems.
    The first link is avast antivirus
    http://www.download.com/Avast-Home-Edition/3000-2239_4-10721010.html?tag=topic
    This is the link for spyware terminator

    Can I simply say what a aid to search out someone who actually knows what theyre speaking about on the internet. You undoubtedly know methods to carry a problem to light and make it important. More individuals must read this and understand this facet of the story. I cant consider youre not more fashionable because you positively have the gift.
