Question:

What free Virus protector/spyware program should I use? See details.

by | earlier

My friend has Windows 2000. AVG and Spyware Doctor won't work because he has Windows 2000 and not XP. Is there anything else out there that will work for him? I don't know what else to recommend.

AVG is good, but I've had trouble with it missing some viruses.  I checked into a new program since the missed virus caused me to reformat.  Avast seems to be really good so far!

Be sure to only have *one* antivirus program installed at a time.  More than one can cause big issues.
