    Default I think I fixed my computer, ya!!!!!!

    Okay, so I had no ability to get on the net yesterday. All my anti-virus software is expired. I managed to get all of it off my computer. I think a bug might have been hiding in it somewhere. So now I can get on the net. I tried turning off the firewall intentionally but that didn't work either. So, I need to get a new anti-virus software. I'm not wearing a rubber so I have to be extra careful, anything I should avoid?

    there is free antivirus software.

    Use firefox instead of internet explorer and don't download and run free screensavers.

    I use avast! home edition ... and have had no problems.

    The problems I do have with my PC is to do with how shitty my PC is not to do with Spyware, Adware or any viruses.

    Get AVG and use that. Best free anti virus software out there. And someone said use firefox. Definetly. IE has soo many security holes.

    I can't recall the trade names, but Consumer Reports said that the free AOL antivirus software was the same as the best antivirus suite on the market except for the name. All I remember is that it was not Norton.

    So, get a free AOL membership even if you never use it, and d/l and install their antivirus software. Be sure you have fully uninstalled the original virus software before installing and running the new.

    Why do you hate AVG? I personally use Black Ice Defender but thats impossible to find anymore for the normal person. ( Defcon ftw ). But for the average consumer level person AVG works awesome and its free

    Agreed. Not only does it miss a lot, it's auto-updating functionality is hit or miss. As free AV goes, Avast is much better.

    For a mere $30, you can run NOD32 or Norman AV which are pretty damn amazing.
