Hi there,
Can someone please tell me where I can get free Anti Virus and Spyware? I have Zone Alarm which runs out today and my AVG runs out on the 18th. I have tried to update these but everytime I go to their websites it comes up with page not available, not sure why!! Can anyone please help me? Thank you!!

If you are a NTL customer then you can download the free Virgin Broadband PCguard which includes Anti-virus, Anti-Spyware, Identity theft protection, Firewall, I used to have Norton on my PC then the subscription run out so I installed Internet Security 2007 and had a few problems with it so I installed PCguard and so far has worked fine, if you are not a NTL customer then I think that the anti-virus software is around £40.00 . it updates every three hours which is better then Norton who update on a daily basis. PCguard used to be known as netguard with NTL but when Virgin Media took over the name changed, their web address is http://www.virginmedia.com . good luck.

Hiya. Look on the net for Avast anti virus its free and can be found at www.downloads.com type avast in the search box and opt for the home version. (it works with vista as well). Spyware is easy ,adaware free personal edition again at downloads.com(and no i dont work for downloads but I am a web designer who uses it a lot!)Its made by lavasoft and the best free one on the market. And then finally put norton on a bloody huge bonfire!x

You need all these anti spyware programs;
http://www.ewido.net - AVG(Ewido) anti trojan.
http://www.safer-networking.org - Spybot Search and Destroy anti spyware. Use the Teatimer settings to protect Internet Explorer, and the Immuniser to stop malware getting on your pc.
Spywareblaster works with Internet Explorer and Firefox. It won't uninstall spyware that is already on your pc, but it will prevent hijacks and other malicious changes to your browser.
