Hi all
I need to upgrade my anti-virus protection. Right now it just isn't doing the job.
I would prefer to download a free program, but I am willing to pay for something if it is good enough.
Any ideas? |

| You can't go past AVG, download and totally free, updated daily and completely reliable. |

| the free avg programme offers basic protection...you only have to look at what the premium avg programme offers in comparison but it costs $80...try NOD32, Kapersky or Panda and all offer free 30day trial periods so you can see which suits you the best... |

AVG is great but will not pick up some of the more tenacious adware and spyware that is about.
I downloaded super antispyware free edition.
It is an exceptional program gets all ad and spy ware not just the easy ones. |

ESET Smart Security (Anti-Virus/Spyware, Firewall, and Anti-Spam all in one). Highly recommended and always performs in the top 3 in independent tests.
Kaspersky Anti-Virus
PC Spyware Doctor (For Anti-Spyware) IN top 2 in most independent tests.
Comodo Firewall (Free and top rated by independent tests).
Don't skimp on your computer security, as if someone hacks into your system and performs identity theft, it will cost you more a than the a few dollars of the anti-virus etc software you didn't pay for. |

hey southerncrossforever
can we agree to disagree? :-)
nothing is slow on my system, all good with PC Spyware Doctor.
But computers are like people. Everyone is different, and so are these damn machines. I haven't had any issues with PC Spyware Doctor and has always removed any nasties first time around. |
