All of the following are FREE.
I use all of the following Free software with Windows XP SP2 and Internet Explorer with MSN toolbar and the pop-up blocker turned on and have never had a single problem with my computer sense Microsoft came out with SP2. (knock on wood.) (And be sure to keep Windows and the following software Updated)
The best Anti-virus is: AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition. (www.grisoft.com)
The Best Spyware defense is: SpyBot Search and Destroy (http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html)<--English version
AND: AdAware SE (www.lavasoft.com)
AND Spyware Blaster (http://www.javacoolsoftware.info/kb/)
The best Firewall besides the one that comes with Windows is: Zone Alarm (http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/co... or just (www.zonelabs.com) and select the FREE version.
These are all FREE and are all that are required. There is no reason to pay for this kind of software, except to give a donation to the writers if you can.
ALL the above programs are recommended and should be run on a regular basis. With some the free versions they must be run manually.
The best way to avoid getting any Malware (virus, Trojan's, spyware, etc) is to practice safe computing. Microsoft and many others have countless articles on the subject of safe computing. (something I think should be taught in schools)

tbh, maximum folk spend £3 hundred+ on a working laptop or pc as an occasion mine value me £six hundred, and for a extreme college pupil working section time it is alot. so i thankfully pay 40 atypical pound to mae beneficial it runs nicely. (mcafee or norton are solid). you may get unfastened ones like AVG, yet you get what you pay for, so dont anticipate miricles for some thing unfastened. if ur relatively smart, seem at technique in activity supervisor. locate the dodgy looking technique. get properties and examine date. if it became into made around the time you get carry of the priority it must be it. seem on the report direction to make beneficial it isnt the atypical application you occurred to place in on the comparable day. end the approach, circulate to the place the report is, delete it. then circulate to your registry and edit startup classes and make beneficial it isnt on the run on abode windows startup checklist. this could tackle the uncomplicated virus'. suggestion, purchase some secure practices.
