Question

this is becuase i am anew user of this facility

Answer 1

Here are program I use that will give you 100% protection. Ofcourse you must also have all your critical updates installed from Microsoft.

I use the free zone alarm firewall for many years. Excellent with free updates and all new versions free. Protects you from rouge incoming packets and keeping your private data from leaving your pc.

http://www.zonealarm.com Download their free home for personal use.

Antivirus program I use. You only pay a one time fee of $29.99. and you get all updates and all new versions for life.

Read the webpage and if you like what you read this is the antivirus of choce I have used for over ten years and never one virus.

By culture the Chinese are very secret just about everything and that includes their software.

This antivirus program out of Beijing, China that is also used by the Government of China.

This antivirus program does not have the Govt. permission to be rated with all other known antivirus programs.

What I can assure you is that you pay only a one time fee for life that will include all auto updates, and all new versions for life. The Chinese don't believe in having to pay an annual fee for updates or new versions.

I can tell you their technology is light years ahead of any other known antivirus software out there.

If you open a webpage and there is a hidden virus it will clean in realtime. Anything that you download and has even a trace code, it will kill the download and ask you to upload the trace code for investigation. In real time the upload will tell you if it is clean or not.

Will not allow you download, Real Player, because there is a hidden file that is a trojan keylogger. The file was uploaded and traced back to the United States Army, Intelligence Services out of London, England. (Removal of the file Real Player will reject the installation).

Read for yourself at their webpage. I have never had one virus in ten plus years. Plus it will catch any progam with it's dynamic defense system, for software that you download and it does not have a publisher or lic., included.

Twister Trojan Antivirus V7

Very low on resources with scanner running in background.

If you prefer not to pay and wish to have a free antivirus program download the free AOL Active Virus Shield, powered by Karpersky engine Russia.

http://www.activevirusshield.com/antivir...

Antispyware I use three. You can only use one antivirus program or you will have serious conflict with your system.

Superantispyware, known to find what all other anitspyware will miss. http://www.superantispyware.com

A2Squard Malware out of Austria. Download their free version and you will be protected from, rogue dialers, worms, malware, keyloggers, trace spyware and rouge cookies.

http://www.emsisoft.com

AdAware SE Personal out of Sweden. This antispyware company has been around since computers became commerical. In June of this year they will come out with a brand new version. Right now it is beta testing. Download their free home for personal use. http://www.lavasoft.com

All of these program I have listed for you use little or no resources.

Answer 3

I have used AVG Anti Virus, Zone Alarm Firewall, Spy-bot Search and Destroy and Ad Aware both spyware killers for years. They are all free for personal use and I have had no trouble with Viruses Trojans etc. AVG does not slow the system down as much as some other products and Zone Alarm allows a lot of personal configuration unlike the Windows Firewall. They can all be downloaded from the following link. http://www.computeractive.co.uk/ On the home page select downloads and then the appropriate category.I also use Windows Defender from the Microsoft site. It is safe to use two anti-spy products but never use more than one A/V as it can cause conflicts. You should run A/V and anti spy weekly. Hope this helps.

There are a few things you will need and do...

1. It very important to have an Anti-Virus program. Some Free AV programs are listed below...these are Free for personal use only.

AntiVir <-- This is what I recommend:
http://www.free-av.com

AVG Free Edition
http://free.grisoft.com/doc/1

avast!
http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html

It is VERY important that you check for regular updates and run scan frequently. I'd say once a week is sufficient.

2. In addition to an Anti-Virus program, it is very important to have a Firewall to block those malicious attempts. Below are some Free Firewall programs:

Comodo <-- This is what I recommend
http://www.comodo.com/products/free_products.htmll

ZoneAlarm
http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/company/products/znalm/freeDownload.jsp

Outpost
http://www.agnitum.com/products/outpostfree/download.php

3. It is also vitally important that you keep Windows up-to-date. Visit Windows Update to check for any Critical updates that may be missing from your computer:

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/updates/sp1/default.mspx

These THREE things are important.
--------------------------------

Let's continue with some other things...

4. Make sure your Java is up-to-date, as older versions will be exploited by malware to infect your system. Get the latest version from http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp and scroll down to Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6u1. Next, go to Add/Remove programs and UNINSTALL all older versions. Reboot your computer.

Some programs to help protect your computer:

5. SpywareBlaster
http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html

6. SpywareGuard
http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareguard.html

7. IE-SPYAD - puts over 5000 sites in your restricted zone, so you'll be protected when you visit innocent-looking sites that aren't actually innocent at all. It basically prevents any downloads, cookies, scripts from the sites listed, although you will still be able to connect to the sites.
http://www.spywarewarrior.com/uiuc/resource.htm

8. HOSTS file - A Hosts file replaces your current HOSTS file with one containing well known ad, spyware sites etc. Basically, this prevents your coputer from connecting to those sites by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1 which is your local computer.
