What is the best real-time virus protection?

August 30, 2009

I tried Windows Live One Care virus protection recently, but my trial just expired. I was wondering if there was a similar virus protection (one with real-time and automatic updates) that I could download for free or free to try. And if so where can I download it at? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I understand the whole concept of third party software ; but shouldn’t Window Registry police itself?

Shouldn’t we be able to rely on the operating system to keep itself in stable condition? My registry cleaner found 6000 errors this month alone. Since the OS is such an important function of the computer; why can’t it pick up after itself?

How should I clean my computer without completely reinstalling the OS?

I just want to clean my computer off so it will generally run faster. All the programs I do not use anymore I want totally gone, and I find when I uninstall things from the control panel, the files and folders are still in my Program Files folder. I know to perform defrag, error checking, and virus scans, but since my C drive is getting full, I need to clear a bunch of stuff off so its like semi-new and runs faster. Any suggestion on how I should do this?

Norton virus scanning keeps on popping up and wants to clean my computer. Is this something offered thru Yah?
