If you are using Windows XP Service Pack 2, make sure that you received normal updates, security updates and Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool every month using Automatic Updates function.

Be often to update anti-virus and anti-spyware programs. Anti-virus and anti-spyware signatures are released every day.

Answer 3

I changed to Avast a few months ago, I have also got superantispyware and Malwarebytes. I recently changed to Comodo firewall which seems fine and I seem to boot up quicker. They are all free for personal use and I have had no trouble with Viruses Trojans Hackers etc. 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

Answer 4

You may visit the Microsoft Download center and pick up a compatible free antivirus software.

Answer 7

No antivirus or antispyware protection is perfect but a good mixture of the two will help you clean your system and hopefully keep it clean.
I have listed a few antivirus, anti spyware and firewall applications that are available for download and are completely free: I will not get involved with the rights and wrongs of each package or its effectiveness or indeed the “This is best” or “This is crap” statements. Whatever you do, just make sure you have one of each type installed, updated and fully working:

Anti Virus

Anti Spyware
