You need to install one firewall.
The Windows firewall doesn't stop malware on your pc from dialling out.
http://www.zonelabs.com Zone Alarm firewall OR
http://www.comodogroup.com/ - Comodo firewall.
You need to install one anti virus;
http://free.grisoft.com/freeweb.php/doc/2/ -AVG anti virus or
http://www.avast.com - Avast Antivirus
http://www.bitdefender.co.uk/site/Main/view/Download-Free-Products.html - Bitdefender 8 doesn't run in the background and can be used as a second back up anti virus.
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.

So you want a good free Virus protection, well don't use AVG, it not very good & misses a lot of viruses, click the link below & in download look for NOD32, this program knocks the spots of AVG takes up less space & a lot faster.

To protect my pc from viruses I use Avira. It's free but very reliable. Free Download here http://j.mp/1sW3LVX

Hi!
I suggest you go to http://www.mbusbyuk.info/links.html and take a look at the Free anti-virus software.
I use AVG 7.5 Free Edition and avast! Anti-virus together on my system (twice the protection!) without them conflicting with one another.
Good Luck!

Yes, AVG, go to http://www.free.grisoft.com. A computer magazine said this anti-virus programme was better than ones you pay for like McAfee or Norton. You could also try Windows Live One Care free for 90 days.

AVG is the most reliable that is free....get it at grisoft.com. Only downside is that you will have to update it yourself every day.
PS Don't get Norton, it is like a virus in itself, not to mention the latest version has caused many errors on peoples PCs.
