Reccommend Me Some Free Anti-Virus Software and Maybe Internet Security, You Know the Like :)

Need something free, as my trial with macaffe(sp) just ran out. Well ran out 2 months ago.

Already have and run mal bytes..

Do I need to pay for anti virus/anti internet security etc/free ware protection/adware, you know the sorts?

All I do is run itunes, microstation, msn, this site, bebo, facebook and you/red(tube).

I know I have a lappy, with 4gb ram and thats about it, I think its a acer..

I am not computer minded, even though I work on a computer as a designer..

Cheers .Org, Sally.

avg?

You don't say what OS you're running.

However, for AV I always recommend AVG Free version. v9.0 has just been released. Get it here:

I run Vista's own firewall, but if you're running XP or earlier then download the free ZoneAlarm firewall:

Emmm vista I think, mayve the latest XP version, I forget..

So with malbytes, AVG free version and vista's own firewall/Zone Alarm if I have XP..

I would be protected ok?

Thanks guys.. And Dizzy

AVG played havoc with my Vista set up. Slowed down to the point I deleted it and downloaded Avast

Its been much betterer since.

Bah, *confused*

AVAST is one of the best free antivirus's does what norton carnt

soooorrrreeee. Just had to say it. YC recommended AVG after my paid for Norton Antivirus expired....then after a few weeks he said it was carp this time, and was changing over to avast. I kept up for a month or three, and just got hacked off to the point of wanting to throw the laptop through the TV!

So Avast it is! and Adaware alongside.

for the sake of £13 get a fully fleged Anti Virus package like Kaspersky.

I have used the likes of AVG, and Zone alarm and as good as they are, i find them fiddly. I will have to run them for a while as my AV ran out at the weekend
