Answer 1

Hi

First you need to have a good anti-virus running.  You can choose from any of the free one's available or you can buy one.  Here's a list of free anti-viruses:http://wiki.castlecops.com/Lists_of_free...

I'm using Avast a while now without a problem!

Secondly you need to have your firewall on all the time, read through this:http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using...

Also I would recommend that you use Mozilla firefox rather than Internet Explorer it's much safer all round!

As always don't forget to delete your cookies/temp files etc on a regular basis, also defrag, and anything your not using delete it from your add/remove programes (Just make sure you know what your doing first!)  I hope it helps! :-)

Answer 2

best for me is kaspersky internet security 2009

other good ones

bit defender

eset nod32

avast

avira

install one,update, and scan regularly (like at least once a week) and you should be fine since they're all complete when it comes to security

Answer 6

use zonealarm free  and avg antivirus both basic versions are free also use a free anispyware prog,i use adaware.I use firefox as my browser its faster and more secure than IE.

get zonealarm here- http://www.download.com/ZoneAlarm-Firewa...

and avg here- http://www.download.com/AVG-Anti-Virus-F...

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

if u have the cash u can get full versions of zone alarm and avg but the free ones are just fine.
