  1. go to free.avg.com

    for a free download of avg antivirus program..

    its like the most recommended one i believe..

    and zone alarm is excellent for firewall protection

    go to www.zonealarm.com/

    ^^


  2. hi there.... try you look at this site. I found at google last week

    http://computer-virus-remove.blogspot.co... This site talk about computer virus

  3. I use Avast! virus protection. It works great. My sister is an  Information technologists (computer tech) and she uses it too and recommends it to her clients.

  4. Well, currently, I use Avira AntiVir free anti virus. Many people on here recommend AVG free which is a good anti virus and Avast! I have used them before, but Avira AntiVir blew it away. It updates quite a lot, but it is completely FREE of charge. As for firewalls, I use Comodo Firewall Pro. It is also a completey FREE firewall and has done a great job protecting my computer. I'll leave the links for you in the sources area below my post if you'd like to try them out. Good luck!

  6. ESET Smart Security

  7. if you looking for free download on antivirus, antispyware, firewalls, registry cleaners, system optimizers then visit the link below. You will find a list of useful free software, in different categories.

  8. AVG Free Edition

    It's actually quite reliable

  9. If you suspect you have an infection, there are several things you must do.  Unfortunately, if you find one infection, it is highly likely you have another one. A virus, trojan or worm are all different types of infections/malware and there are some great FREE programs that can help you.

    First, clean up (delete) your cookies, temp files and temporary internet files. I prefer to use Ccleaner (available at www.filehippo.com) to do this, rather than the built-in DISK CLEANUP. If you want to use Disk Cleanup, you can find it if you:

    - Double-Click on My Computer to open it up

    - RIGHT-click on your C: drive

    - Choose PROPERTIES and then click on the DISK CLEANUP button

    - When done, reboot your computer.

    Delete these files daily or run Ccleaner every day right before you shut your computer down.

    2 - You should also have a good anti-virus program to help protect your computer. AVG FREE is an excellent anti-virus program, which can be downloaded from  www.download.com.  You might also choose Avast or Avira, both also free programs from www.download.com.

    3 -Since NONE of the anti-spyware/anti-adware programs are 100% accurate in finding and removing spyware, you need at least two programs which you will run one after the other, not at the same time.

    There are three excellent free ones:

    --Spybot, Search and Destroy

    --Ad-Aware

    --Spyware Blaster

    All are available FREE from www.download.com

    You will need to download, install, update (and IMMUNIZE in Spybot) and run them, one at a time. Be careful with the NAME of these programs - there are "look-alikes" with very similar names, that are in fact spyware themselves! Reboot after you install each one!

    After this current infection is cleared up, be sure to run both of the above programs at least once a week if you are on the internet frequently and/or like to download music or files.

    NOTE: Some infections prevent your from downloading the above programs. You may have to use a clean computer to download the programs and copy them to a thumb drive or CD. Then transfer the install files to the infected computer and run.

    --Occasionally you will not be able to run these programs without being in SAFE MODE.  To get there, reboot your computer and tap the F8 key, repeatedly until a menu comes up.  You want to choose SAFE MODE WITH NETWORKING.

    4 -You should also have a good firewall to help protect your computer. Zone Alarm makes a totally free version (watch you don't download the 30-day free trial of the paid version). You can download this from the manufacturer at www.zonelabs.com <>http://www.zonelabs.com>

    HTH : )

    Good luck!

  10. go to download.com

    get the AVG free software
