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

Be aware, I've used avast for almost two years with great results, however some viri embed themselves into system volume information_restore, and on occasion anti-virus applications cannot remove infections from this file, as it is a system access only file (supposedly), anyway, make sure you set the scanner to scan archived files, and understand that you may have to delete some restore points on your system in conjunction with removal of the infection in order to properly rid yourself of the infection without it at some point being reinstalled by mistake at a later date via system restore.
Good luck

Download one of the following anti virus programs, up date it, and then run it. This is free software, but it works really well.
