What is the BEST...?

Question

program for virus and anti-spam etc.?

Answer 1

I Use mcaffee anti virus 2006, which has firewall, antivirus, spam killer and anti-spyware and is better than norton anti-virus coz it doesnt slows the bootup of the computer like the norton anti-virus

Answer 2

I prefer a couple of lesser known antivirus programs...Kaspersky and Bit Defender...thorough, and a lot quicker than Norton/Symantec. I don't use Outlook or anything similar-all my mail is web-based, so I pretty much use the sites' spam filters (Yahoo's is actually pretty good, or is it that I've been here so long?...Hotmail was good for a while, but seems to be slipping again). Try download.com's review section, and also Consumer Reports did an in-depth rating a few months ago that may be on their site www.consumerreports.org. For antispy, I stick with Ad-Aware and Spybot S&D (with Spybot, install the advanced options and activate Tea Timer), and also WIndows Defender. Spyware Blaster and Spyware Guard are also very useful (and tiny) programs. Most important, no matter what you use, make sure to keep it updated.

Answer 3

Hi,Norton and Mcafee are good, but you should pay for the software.

i also recommand you to use firefox with Google toolbar, which can disable the virus, becasue the virus can only run on IE.

firefox can block any any poppus and disable any virus and spyware, adware on webpage, so, firefox is much safer than IE. as you know, most of the virus is spread throught internet and webpage.

firefox is much smaller than IE, so i run faster than IE.

download firefox for free:
