Computer problems????

Question

my computer started acting all weird today...

it was really slow, and i kept getting disconnected from the internet.

does anyone have any suggestions for free anti-virus programs/anti-spyware programs?

Answer 1

For free anti-virus I recommend Avast Home Edition

• http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-...

For anti-spyware/adware I would suggest

• Spybot Search & Destroy http://www.safer-networking.org/

and

• Adaware: http://lavasoft.com/

It also doesn't hurt to run Windows Defender (available free from Microsoft)

Answer 2

i should say that you should use norton anti-virus or avast! but if i were you i would let someone who's an expert in computers to reformat your computer because anti-virus programs sometimes have viruses in them for their anti-virus to sell.

Answer 3

Have you been visting naughty websites?, its just like seeing hookers in real life, you need protection!

Answer 4

If you have XP SP3 there is an issue where the internet disconnects and if you unplug the Ethernet and plug it back in it still will not connect you have to unplug your router for 5secs and plug back in  

Answer 5

I would recommend norton anti-virus because it has realy good filters and can cathch anything that is a virus. But it also sounds like you have a virus so if norton or any of the other answers above can't get rid of it, hire a tecnition and while he is getting rid of the virus ask him what he recommends.

Answer 6

I would recommend Spybot and some sort of free AVG Anti-Virus.  I will link you to AVG.

http://free.avg.com/

There you go.  That is a VERY good free anti-virus.
