Answer 1

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.

Here is what I use for the past ten years and I have never had one virus on my pc. Twister Trojan Antivirus, is also used by the The government of China. The software is out of Beijing, China. You only pay a one time fee for life of $29.99 and you will get daily automatic updates, plus all new versions for life.

You will not see this antivirus program compared with all the other antivirus software on the market. I can tell you that the software is light years ahead of any other antivirus program on the market. (The Chinese like to be very secret).

You can take the software for a thirty day test drive and you will get a registration key for the thirty day test drive. After the time is up you will have to purchase the software.

The free ones are better than the pay ones. They are available at www.majorgeeks.com
However, if you get rid of that virus magnet Windwos operating system, many people do not need antivirus software. I have been running Linux without antivirus software for almost a year..no virus. They just dont infect Linux. Only Windows.
