Being an IT employee, www.limetribe.com , get Anti-Vir, http://www.free-av.com/ , a great Anti virus/spyware program that I use with clients all the time. I you are running windows, windows defender should be on your PC and it is good. DO NOT get Norton Antivirus. It takes over your machine like Apple software. Terrible program.
