Just type in AVG Anti Virus Free Edition

I not only use that. I also have
Advanced Windows Care V2 Personal (I run this 4 or 5 times a day, only takes a couple of minutes, and it catches alot of errors, also has caught a trogan.
So good luck.

www.avast.com
it is free and reliable. I have heard good things about AVG too.
My pc repair guys swear by Avast. youe apply for and get a free code to enter. Again all free. that code is good for 14 months. then you apply and get another free code good for another 14 months. That way you atleast have the newest version and updates every 14 months but you can update your program any time you want. You can even set it up to update automatically.
remember, one virus program on a pc at a time though.

Try Ad-Aware. I use it weekly and it keeps me virus free.
It is free. Just google ad aware and download the software for free. It doesn't send you spam either. It is wonderful.

I tried avg.com for awhile but then they started charging a fee I thought. So now I use www.avast.com for home use and I love it. We have it on 3 different computers and so far it works great. You have to email them for a registration number to keep it going and then it's good for a year. They give you step by step instructions and it's an easy download and install. Give it a try!
