I want to install a new anti-virus because my current one doesnt seem to be working. So if you can give me a link to a good anti-virus program that would be great.

Well if you mean your antivirus picked some viruses and has kept in virus chest or quaraintatited them then uninstallling antivirus won't release them, they're encrypted so cannot run again.
if you mean you got viruses so uninstalling av will remove then this is 100% false there'll be more risk.... 99.99% risk
well picking up antivirus has been difficult job, i'd use Trendmicro pc-cillin internet security 2007, IF I HAD HIGH SYSTEM confriguations
> anyway, use any of these....... all of them works great,
# avast 4.7 - Pro/home
# Avg 7.0 - Pro/home
# Mccafee
#Trend Micro PC-cillin Internet Security 2007
#Kaspersky antivirus
>> Further options at here - http://www.download.com/Antivirus/3150-2239_4-0.html?tag=nav_dir
>> I'd choose kaspersky antivirus 6.0 because it is good and won't take system resources too hence, no more slowing down pc, doesn't mean avg and avast and mc-caffe will slow down your pc in comparision they' take a bit more RAM.

The best antivirus program that I recommend is called eset nod32 (www.eset.com)
It scans files on your computer in the background so no need to manually scan your computer every day for viruses. In addition, eset nod32 will also scan files downloaded off websites to make sure there isn't an infected file. If the file is infected you will be prompted about it to either continue on (of course not recommended) or terminate the connection. If you choose terminate, you can still view the web site but the infected files will not show up on the web page for your protection. eset nod32 can also scan email attatchments from both emal programs (such as outlook, outlook express, thunderbird, the bat, etc) and internet based email (yahoo, hotmail, aol, etc). Only thing is if you use an email program you get this message in all emails containing attachments. (this email was scanned by eset nod32 v.2.5.xx (xx being current version #; at this time 30)
Give it a try. you wont be disappointed. It uses less than 20mb ram and less than 1% cpu resources. You can download a 30day trial at http://www.eset.com If you decide you want to keep it email me and I will give you a code so you don't have to pay the $79 to keep it.

No, it will not release all the viruses.
I would highly recommend installing Windows Defender for antispyware and AOL Active Virus Shield for antivirus (both are free), see here for the links plus a summary and links to other free options as well:

No - it's not like it's keeping all the virii in some electronic cage - it's preventing them from being installed in the first place. Just install the new one as quick as you can ;-)

first of all, you probably did all the superb issues as a manner to get lots of the artwork achieved. (Congrats!) in spite of if it activates with the aid of itself. Mine does that. it is common. Mine activates good earlier my information superhighway connection starts to load. I doubt all antivirus classes swap on good once you swap your workstation on. It activates itself. and that's ok. i would not advise yet another antivirus because of the fact of ways this has actual time protection and is easy on the device 8MB and would not gradual your workstation down. yet you ought to ask microsoft your self. in spite of if it is common. And that's stable you asked this, ought to of gotten you out of an incredible type of difficulty. you additionally can get yet another Vista disk in case you want, and you will have the means to apply your key on the backside of the workstation, yet then it is going to in user-friendly terms be valid one greater time. (three times in entire: one million time throughout setting up 2 now 3 down the line.) you additionally can improve to 7 with the aid of procuring for the disk and click improve once you boot on your cdcontinual. via your added information it sounds as though such as you're able to be able to desire to format your workstation and you ought to setting up a actual win 7.you ought to setting up an anti-virus application consisting of kaspersky or protection necessities. via your information superhighway connection have it replace on a daily basis.
