How can I get free anti-virus, etc?

Question

Is there any way I can get Norton or any other good antivirus on my computer free? How do I do it? You'll have to give me details, please. I hate spending the $$$$ if I can get it for nothing! thanks in advance for your help.

Answer 1

Dont get Norton.  Not a good Program.

Virus Protection-- 2 programs of virus protection will conflict with each other and will actually cancel out the protection. I suggest Avast OR AVG.

Running Spybot and Defender, with EITHER Avast or Avg (great Free virus protection programs ) will keep a computer in good working condition.

Windows Defender and Spybot are 2 really good Spyware Programs.

Links Below are Programs that WILL Help. They are FREE.

I have Both AVG and Spybot on my computer.

AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition 7.5.519

Spybot - Search & Destroy 1.5.2

Answer 6

Norton isn't a good antivirus, but that's beside the point

AVG offers a free edition of their antivirus which is fully functional but doesn't include things like a firewall and anti-rootkit software, so try out AVG and buy a license for that if you like it (or just use the free anti-virus)

Answer 7

Norton sucks

Some good one that are FREE are...

Antivirus(should only download one for each computer)

Avira antivirus(my recommended choice)

http://www.avira.com/en/downloads/

Personal Review: Very good detection rates. Sometimes I can find a false positive from time to time but that's not much of a problem. Also if you get the free version it has the annoying habait of giving a popup about paying for the software maybe two times a day. It is very good to avoid disrupting what you were doing so I give this a rating of 9/10

AVG Antivirus Free Edition

http://www.grisoft.com/

Personal Review: Easy to use. Not the best detection rates but I very good product anyhow.

Rating 7/10

Avast! Antivirus

http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.ht...

Personal Review: Easy to use. It probably has better detection rates then AVG so I'll give this a 8/10

Sorry never tried Nod32 but I heard good things about it.

Now lets talk about the Anti-spyware

You can download as many as you want.

Spybot Search and Destroy

http://www.safer-networking.org/en/downl...

Great program! One of my favorites for detecting and removing spyware. A must have and it's freeware. There isn't even a paid version but there is a donate option. It has the option to Immunize your browsers and recovery system if you wanted to undo the removal.

Malwarebytes Antimalware Free Edition

It's probably my favorite anti malware program. Good detection rates. Only used for scanning if you have the free version but great no the less.

http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php

Malwarebytes RogueRemover Free

http://www.malwarebytes.org/rogueremover...

Detects for rogue software such has winfixer or spysheriff and deletes it. Just to let you know if you see a popup of rogue software suggesting you have "viruses" You should immedility disconnect your internet(to be on the safe side) and press ALT F4. Also please PLEASE don't click on either X,ok, or cancel because it will install anyway.

Superantispyware

A good scanning tool whats more there to say?

http://www.superantispyware.com/download...

It does sound like rogue software which is kinda annoying but trust me it's safe.

Adaware Free

http://www.download.com/Ad-Aware-2008/30...

Another great tool for finding spyware

Answer 8
