These days you need much more than just an antivirus protection.

For antivirus:

http://www.avast.com

download the free home edition.It has protection from viruses,spyware,trojans,trojan horses,droppers,malware,rootkits

____

Antispyware:

First of all I have spywareterminator.This is a great antispyware.It also has antivirus but don't install that because it will conflict with avast or antivir and it uses Clamwin which is not sucha good antivirus.Only install protection against spyware.

http://www.spywareterminator.com/fr/Defa...

Then I use spybot search and destroy.I only use it to scan.Don't install the security center.

http://www.download.com/Spybot-Search-De...

Then i have superantispyware.There is a free and a pro version of superantispyware.I use the free one.The difference between both is that the free version doesnt have a realtime shield.

Get it here

http://www.superantispyware.com/

Then I have spywareblaster.This doesn't scan for spyware but it immunizes your browser.

_____

Firewall:

Download the best free one here

EDIT:

Oh by the way....

Avast is a good antivirus but on the ther hand AVG does absolutely nothing.Completly useless,I doubt it ever finds one bloody virus.It once picked up a trojan horse on my pc....and guess what...It wasn't actually a trojan horse.

Every single AVG product sucks sorry.

Go there, get the 90 day free trial of norton, right after that, you delete, then reinstall.. Voila, free norton again. Just 4 times a year.. :D

Answer 13

try downloading avast that worked for me. it's freeware.

Answer 14

Remember: free scans don't _prevent_ you from getting viruses, they just remove (most of) the ones you have at the time of the scan. So, if you only care about getting rid of the ones you have right now on your Microsoft Windows system, and not the ones you'll get right after the scan, try AVG free, Avast Free or Trend Housecall.

Answer 15

In the world of security, you get what you pay for!

Larger companies are able to be more proactive in developing signatures for the latest threats. Every day, new viruses are created or morphed from old ones that a whole new definition has to be written for.

If you pay for your AV, your getting a PAID staff to stay on top of things. Free AVs have to go about other ways and enticements to get their money to survive.

It all depends on what you do with your computer. Do you use it to surf p**n? Do you care about your information? Do you use it for sensitive information?

THE most important things you can do (besides running AV) is to ensure that the OS is fully patched, all of your software has the most current version, and that you do your everyday things with an account that does not have Admin Privileges!

With that said, the best FREE Secuirty Software programs according to Consumer Reports are -

Antivirus Alwil Avast Home Edition 4.7.

Antispyware/antiadware Install both Microsoft Windows Defender and SpyBot Search and Destroy 1.4.

Antispam SPAMfighter standard or Microsoft's Outlook or Windows Mail with Junk Mail Filter.

Browser security toolbar McAfee Site Advisor. Not rated, but free anti malware worth trying. See tip No. 4 in Best ways to stay safe online.

Software firewall ZoneAlarm 7.0 (Windows XP, 2000) and 7.1 (Vista). See tip No. 1 in Best ways to stay safe online.

Rootkit detection AVG Anti-Rootkit. Not tested, but worth trying because other free programs don't claim to protect against this insidious type of malware.

Answer 16

Download avast Antivirus its free n works for me.

Answer 17

www.free.avg.com  is my best reccommendation but you could also try Avast.

Answer 18

yes it's possible with NOD32 from eset this one won a best anti virus software award from a universal program before that i tried every anti virus software's like Norton or Mcafee but it very different and it is working in background without disturbing the trend micro office scan also a best one but it is very expensive to get and it can be used for a big networks but the nod32 is simple and powerful anti virus software for front end users you can can get more info from eset's home website www.eset.com and try to get a original version only

then only its useful for you because of their on line update
