No not once a day many times not even once a week. Magazines, newspapers, and companies today like to exaggerate the threat. Half of the time the programs they offer cause more harm than good.
I used to have a job that dealt specifically with spyware and viruses. Nearly all of the people I worked for got spyware from simply using internet explorer and not having the two service pack updates for microsoft. Although they did have all the fancy norton and macfee virus scans that costs $100 each.
I don't keep any virus protection programs running or the "must have" firewall and spam blockers. These things eat up resources and slow down your computer. Not to mention conflict with many other important programs. If I suspect I have a virus I run an online scan at http://www.pandasoftware.com/products/activescan
If you have firefox, and the microsoft updates you will be fine. Just don't visit porn sites that spawn 100 windows. It makes me sick when I see ads for aol spam blocker or stop sign anti-popups. When stop-sign tells you to go to their site for a free online scan, they actually put files on your computer that will show up as infected on their scan.

You can get AVG Free (antivirus) and AD-Aware SE Personal (spyware Bot) at the link below, both are a free download. Set the AVG to do a daily scan like in the middle of the night and run the ad-aware once a week
See link

ensure you have a firewall grew to become on. additionally purchase or receive better than one anti-virus utility. AVG has a sturdy unfastened one and additionally sells one. Avanquest has something called Double Anti-undercover agent that they sell. the reason you get better than one is that anybody form won't capture each and everything. some virus will slip via one form yet get caught via yet another. it relatively is the way those jerks artwork.

If you use AVG and make sure it's set for automatic scanning, and do a full scan at least once a week you should be fine.

hi, perhaps you can try norton to remove the virus and protect your PC, but you need to pay for the software.
i recommand you to use firefox with Google toolbar. firefox can disable all virus to run, because the virus can only run on IE.
besides, firefox can block any any poppus and disable any virus and adware, spyware 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:

I recommend you read this site first.
http://www.internetinspiration.co.uk/computer_privacy_and_security.htm
There are several good and free AV programs. AVG and AVAST are excellent. I recommend either one. USE ONLY ONE AV PROGRAM.
