1. For your Anti-Virus……(Always use only 1 A-V…You must NEVER use more than one anti-virus, Even an expired anti-virus can cause a major conflict… did I mention that you MUST uninstall any old anti-virus products?)
For your anti-virus needs, I would suggest Avast, the newist version 4.8. Avast now includes anti-virus, anti-spyware and anti-rootkit components. And all for the low low price of free. You can get it here:
http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html
Avoid an anti-virus called AVG (free version). It is wildly popular with children and the computer illiterate but has poor virus detection rates.
———————————-
2. For your Anti-Adware and Anti-Spyware needs……………(use at least 1 anti-spyware, but 2 is OK). Do a scan with it on a regular basis.

What is a good antivirus program out there to use?
Question by Lisa B: What is a good antivirus program out there to use?
I purchased a used computer about 10 months ago and the guy had put Norton Antivirus on it before I bought it. It is now up for renewal and I don’t know if I should renew it or not. Is having an antivirus necessary? What are some good programs? Are there any out there that are free to use? Should I stay with the Norton Antivirus? Please help me….I only have 6 more days left with this antivirus left.
Best answer:
Answer by Samuel Adams
Having an up to date anti-virus is very important (it only takes 2 minutes on average for your computer to be compromised). Norton is bloatware and I would not recommend it at all. If you want to pay for an anti-virus Kaspersky is the best. If you want a free anti-virus I recommend in order of popularity, but I leave the decision to you (install only one):
1. AVG Free
a. A simple interface
b. Can detect about 82.82% of viruses
Cons: low virus detection
2. Avast!
a. Real-time protection
b. It has an option to delete a virus once found
c. Can detect about 87.46% of viruses.
Cons: Too many icons and confusing user interface
3. Avira AntiVir
a. It can detect malware better than Avast and AVG
b. It’s cute umbrella icon
c. Can detect about 94.26% of viruses
Cons: A very sluggish update

Does an Antivirus Program have a better chance of detecting a Virus if it has a Boot-Time Scanner?
Question by Arthur codename Sniper115A3: Does an Antivirus Program have a better chance of detecting a Virus if it has a Boot-Time Scanner?
Like Avast! Antivirus has a boot-time scanner, meaning it starts the virus scanning right before Windows starts and loads everything including the viruses.
So, does an Antivirus Program have a better chance of detecting a Virus if it has a Boot-Time Scanner?
Best answer:
Answer by The_Wee_Ham
It depends on the type of virus.
Many viruses “hide” from windows once it is running and therefore boot-time scanners can find them more easily. That said, windows needs to partially start before the boot-time scanner can run. To be honest, good virus scanners are very sophisticated and should be able to detect viruses even if they are running on the computer actively when it scans.

What is some really good Software for your PC (Windows) for cleaning viruses and other right away?
Question by ~No-mercy~: What is some really good Software for your PC (Windows) for cleaning viruses and other right away?
I had a problem over msn that said (ImageHost.jpg) or something like that, i was getting people saying that i was sending them something, when i really wasn’t, I have Spy Eraser, and Bit Defender, is there any programs that are free that will get rid of viruses?
Best answer:
Answer by Josh M
I had never heard of Spy Eraser before and after a quick search I couldn’t find a single good thing said about the software from any reputable website. Call me skeptical, but I wouldn’t trust a piece of software that no one has anything good to say about it. Personally, I would get rid of it first.
Bit Defender is pretty good but if it’s not doing the job for you, I would get rid of it after downloading a different anti-virus software like Microsoft Security Essentials or Avira (both free and I’m currently using Microsoft Security Essentials).

What Is A Good Anti Spyware That I Can Buy?
I need to buy a good anti spyware for my PC. I do not want anyone recommending free ones over the net; instead I am looking for one I can buy from future-shop or best buy. What are some good brands? how much do they cost? I am also running Norton in order to protect my computer from viruses; whatever I get has to be compatible with that.
