Agh! I hate viruses so much!!! My main comp already HAS one, but even though I still use it, I don't want to buy an Anti-Vi unless I know which one I should get!

PLEASE tell me about something cheap, but effective! I need help!

And also please explain how to obtain said software!

I'd personally recommend Avast, it has given me the least problems, none actually.


But if that doesn't suit your fancy, then there's also AVG, MSE or Avira, but I find them inferior to Avast.



And yes, all of those are free.

I find AVG awesome.

I hear Atvast is great too. But I don't have experience with it.

Either one is free and great.

No downoad it anyway, it's just your computer telling you what downloading any file can do.

There's a point where you're being too careful.

But yeah, those .EXE files are from trusted sources, and there's no danger in downloading them.


Also, make sure you install your old anti-virus program before you install a new one.

Well, I have AVG Free on my computer, never have to pay for it to keep my PC free of viruses. There's also another version you can buy that offers more things, like identity theft protection and a firewall. link here: http://free.avg.com/us-en/homepage

I work for an ISP now and have been doing IT for 6 years now and get to see alot of systems and what AV they've had when they get taken out by some nasty virus. So far I'd have to say AVG (I use this on at home) and Avast are great. Another program that is excellent is Malware Bytes which is not a true AV but excellent for removing things already on your system. Also a registry and hard drive cleaner like CCleaner is excellent to have. Hope that's helpful!!!

I've been using Avast for about 3 years now and it works really well for me. It is easy to install and does automatic updates which is a great plus.

Wow, Mister Richy Rich here.

Just teasing man. Norton is usualy a paid antivirus, I think zeldster wants a free one. I use the paid McAfee myself.

But I've heard free ones like AVG are almost as good as paid ones, is that true, anyone?
