  I have used AVG Anti Virus, Zone Alarm Firewall, Spy-bot Search and Destroy a spyware killer for years. I have recently added superantispyware. They are all free for personal use and I have had no trouble with Viruses Trojans Hackers etc. I have just upgraded to AVG free 8.0 and all seems good so far. Zone Alarm allows a lot of personal configuration unlike the Windows Firewall. They can all be downloaded from http://www.download.com/ I also use Windows Defender from the Microsoft site. It is safe to use two anti-spy products but never use more than one A/V as it can cause conflicts. You should run A/V and anti spy weekly. Hope this helps

  Hey!

  Hope I can Help. I have used all the available free antivirus software available..although I do not recommend plain antivirus because it does not usually protect you against spyware nor has a good firewall I do realyze it is nesessary for some people.

  Not to knock on avg or avast but ive had terrible luck with the latest versions of them. I highly recommend you give PC TOOLS a try. Its actually what I use on my laptop. It works fine and doesnt slow me down.

  Get your FREE download here.

  ☆ Download = http://www.pctools.com/

  NOW.. if you do not have one already you should get a firewall and antispyware program to go along with your antivirus. Both can be obtained for free.

  ANTISPYWARE = the best program for this is MALWAREBYTES. FREE.
  ☆ DOWNLOAD = http://malwarebytes.org/

  FIREWALL = The best ive used is WEBROOT FIREWALL. FREE.
  ☆ Download =http://www.webroot.com/En_US/consumer-products-desktopfirewall.html?WRSID=1e1532a90dd50c3349ae8a3e0b058eb2

  AVG has a paid version, but it is free, and it works lovely. Actually, there’s a site I use to pick out freeware
