my pc used to have panda virus scanner before the technician worked on it but changed it with a new one. each time i open my pc it says "comouter might be at risk" and that the security is not activated. but when i do activate it, i ask for a package key which neither me nor the tachnician do not have. someone said there is one via net. Tried the free virus scan but all it did was scan and nothing else unless i pay but i dont have cash nor credit card.my pc is at rish, really?

You can download ccleaner for free here: http://bit.ly/1Bk5V5C
First open CCleaner
Go to the Cleaner tab and you will be confronted by a very confusing lineup of checkboxes.
To make this brief, below is my recommended setup:
Under internet explorer check temporary internet files, cookies, and last download location. Most users don't really need this stuff. keep history and bookmarks unchecked, history is a maybe, but you don't want to lose bookmarked sites. You can normally leave Windows Explorer, System, and Advanced alone.
Run CCleaner and it will start deleting files.
afterward it will present you with a list of the files deleted, you really don't need to go through it as it will be several pages long.
The registry cleaner is recommended for slightly more advanced users. Use it after uninstalling programs as they will often leave behind incorrect registry entries.
If you decide to run Registry cleaner then review the items detected and always back up the registry (I keep a folder aside for this)
The Tools tab lets you uninstall programs and set startup programs. Why do you need this if Windows has all of these features? Especially with Vista Home Ed. The windows defender software explorer( startup programs) doesn't pick up some entries (however software explorer is easier to use).
Using CCleaner to uninstall programs and then check for leftover registry entries takes less time.
Under Options you can determine how CCleaner cleans your files. I leave this alone.

I don't think you want any virus scanners if you have an antivirus on your system. Download AVG for free and scan your computer every 6-10 days to stay free of viruses and trojans. You can get it from free.grisoft.com.

You can try Safety Live from Microsoft Windows Live services. Not just scan basic viruses, but it also scans malicious hidden softwares such as spyware, rootkits, and also other suspicious softwares. Best of all, it's free!

i strongly propose avg. its free, and it has worked large. Norton hogs fairly some elements so it can make you computer kinda sluggish each and every so often. in case you do commence using avg, you truly could uninstall Norton because more suitable than one anti-virus application operating at the same time may reason weird and wonderful complications each and every so often.
