   Avast…updated almost daily
   i have been using this for about 2 years.
   best anti virus i have ever used…
   way better than Norton, AVG, NOD, McAffee…

   PS Norton sucks…it will slow your computer down to all hell…

   Yes, try AVG or Avast, you can find them here, plus lots of other free programs and utilities:

   Get rid of Norton as soon as you like; it used to be an excellent program in the old days but now it’s just plain awful. Also, make sure you have an anti-spyware program – it’s very important. I use Spybot Search&Destroy but you may prefer Ad-Aware, which is easier to use.

   For an extra layer of protection, download a third-party (ie; not Windows) firewall. the Windows firewall is okay, but Zone Alarm or Comodo will give more protection.

   I’ve heard avg is but I never tried it. I pay for my antivirus cause I want to make sure it is good protection on my computer.

   If you want a free anti-virus I recommend in order of popularity, but please choose the right one for you (install only one):

   1. AVG Free
   a. A simple interface (easier to use than Avast! and Avira)
   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
