Answer 1

If you download Avast antivirus program from Prague, http://www.avast.com I have used this antivirus free for home use in two computers for nine plus years an I never had one virus. Plus it scan all 195,000 objects, including, msn mail, yahoo,mail an all zips. The Avast corporate is the same version they just make corporate pay. You will get two or three times per day auto updates. Plus has one of the very best background you can fine in real time. Stops any virus found before it can enter your system.

They will ask you for your email address so they can send you your free key that is good for one year. After one year all you do is request a new key.

Pls., know that you can only run one antivirus program or you will have conflict. So what ever program you have now, turn it off or remove, as it is obvious the antivirus system you have failed you.
