can I download free internet security on line, whats the best site?

Answer 1

http://www.filehippo.com
Lots of free downloads - the best security I've found is Avast! (Better than AVG!)

Answer 2

Here's some ideas to "roll ya own" Internet Security Suite for free. Free is always the best.
---------------------------------------
1. For your Anti-Virus......(Always use only 1 A-V)

I like the FREE, AOL ActiveVirusShield. Don't let the name AOL scare you. ActiveVirusShield is made by Kaspersky which is one of top-rated anti-virus vendors in the world.

In recent tests, the most popular free anti-virus, AVG, was only able to detect about 82% of a very large sample of viruses. On the other hand, ActiveVirusShield was able to detect better than 99% in the same test.
Full test results are here:

ActiveVirusShield has excellent virus detection rates and is extremely light on using your computer resources.

Updates many times per day to detect new malware.

Free to anyone, AOL member or not from:

--------------------------------

2. For your Firewall..........(Always use only 1 firewall)

An excellent free firewall is Comodo Personal Firewall. It can pass firewall "leak tests" that even most of the "paid-for" firewalls cannot pass.

And Comodo has a great support forum. Where the CEO / President of the company might even himself answer your question! Check it out at:

-------------------------------

3. For your Anti-Adware and Anti-Spyware needs...............(use 2)

Pick and choose, 2 anti-spywares from the list below and alternate scanning with them on a regular basis. New spywares are created literally hourly, so no single anti-spyware can really detect all malware. Have at least 2 on hand and alternate scanning with each every few days or so. All are free. All can remove as well as detect.

Spybot Search and Destroy:

Ewido:

Adaware SE:

A-Squared:

SUPERAntiSpyware:
http://www.superantispyware.com/

Windows Defender:
http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx

Unfortunately, many "paid for" anti-spyware products are in fact either of limited usefulness or downright scams. When in doubt, look at the list of rogue anti-spyware solutions listed here:

-----------------------------------------

4. And to protect your computer from ever getting infected with malware in the first place............ (use them both)

SpywareBlaster:

SiteAdvisor:

-----------------------------------
Everything here is 100% free!!!!!!

Great luck!

Answer 3

Yes you can google Zonealarm security. I have tried the lot and this is the best it slows things down a tad but that's a small price for complete security

Answer 4

I believe that the two best are AVG and Avast.

AVG is a little more mechanical, IE, requires a little more attention then Avast. Avast wants to run in the background and uses quite a bit more of your system resources, but it is a very good program.

Answer 5

AVG and Avast are both free, and also you can download Lavasoft's adaware program again free, Windows defender is another one you could consider, but If I were you AVG for your virus protection. also PCtools does a free firewall

Answer 6

You already have a lot of good advice.

Here is a one-source link that I use a lot, for information and for downloads (free and commercial): download.com.

Answer 7

There is NO one best site. I recommend getting ALL of these programs:
http://www.avgfree.com/ (The anti-virus and the anti-spyware trial version)
http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/ (Get SpywareBlaster and SpywareGuard.)
http://www.spywareterminator.com/ (DO NOT DOWNLOAD CRAWLER TOOLBAR WITH IT)
http://www.superantispyware.com/ (Good free scanner for anti-spyware.)

These should all keep you protected!

Answer 8

try google security if you have vista you get anti virus, pop up and spyware free plus the google tool bar

Answer 9

Antivirus : www.avast.com (Avast)
Firewall : www.lonelabs.com (Zonealarm)
Spyware killer : www.lavasoftusa.com (Adaware)
Spyware killer : www.spybot.org (Cpybot S&D)
Reg cleaner : www.ccleaner.com (CCleaner)

All are free, all are good.
