I just downloaded the Panda anti-virus (90 day trial ) and after installing it realised how much junk such as spyware and adware was detected. I didnt know what spyware/adware meant until Wkipedia helped me out. So it got me thinking two things:
1) whenever you download some anti-virus software do es it automatically say ur computer has some virus etc on it so lulls you into that information technology fear which will ONLY BE resolved by tbuying their £100 anti-virus software
2) which software for anti virus is the best - i mean everyone raves about norton but i have had such problems with it messing up my laptop.it was a good day when i deleted it i felt the laptop breathe a sigh of relief...
anyway let me know what you guys who i am sure know more than me think and any advice what i should do after the 90 days end which will come fast....
one thing for sure despite the pop up blocker i had still a s tupid amount coming up and panda has sorted that all out.....

Norton sucks. It's very cumbersome and expensive. I use AVG, it's free and works very well. Anti-virus software scans files and lets you know if you have a virus. You should also get spyware tools. Links below...

i could say your suited wager is Avast very reliable software yet its going to be about an similar length as Norton on your hardchronic. per chance even slightly higher. besides the undeniable fact that that's is loose. I desire i could allow you to recognize it has more effective acceptable secure practices than norton besides the undeniable fact that it would not besides the undeniable fact that it loose. Norton has on line help, Norton has stay chat help, Norton has loose telephone help. Avast also has large assist you sign up on line put up a value ticket and they come back to you at the same time as they could. yet its loose. You get what you pay for,
