Personally I think you should use AVG free as long as your computer is not too old.

Answer 11

Answer 12

I strongly recommend that you use Threat fire because it use very little system resources (5 MB RAM)

while giving you the same protection as other anti-virus programs.

Your system will not slow down when you use Threat Fire.

Threat Fire is PC Magazine Editor's choice.

http://www.threatfire.com/

1) Install the program

2) Do a FULL system scan

3) Threat Fire can quarantine and neutralise viruses, even those that hide in system restore folder.

4) Once a virus is quarantine, your system is safe and you have the option to delete

the quarantine files later.

ThreatFire's patent-pending ActiveDefense

technology offers protection against all types of internet threats

- both known and unknown - spyware, adware, keyloggers, viruses, worms,

Trojans, rootkits, buffer overflows, and other malware.

ThreatFire uses its unparalleled protection to hunt down and paralyze those threats

that are either too new or too clever to be recognized by traditional "signature-based" antivirus.
