   most virus are spread through IE. IE is not a safe browser. you should use a more secure browser to protect your PC from virus.

   i recommand you to use firefox with Google toolbar. firefox can block any any popup and disable any virus and adware, spyware on webpage, so, firefox is much safer than IE browser. as you know, most of virus spread throught internet and webpage.

   besides, firefox is much smaller than IE, so it run faster than IE.

   download firefox for free, Just have a try:

   you can also try Kaspersky Internet Security:

   These days you need more than just a virus protection. Only about 15% of all malware is viruses. The rest is worms, trojans, phishing schemes, spyware, etc.

   Here’s some ideas to "roll ya own" Internet Security Suite for free. Free is always the best.
   —————————————
   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)

   For your anti-virus needs, I would suggest Avira AntiVir® PersonalEdition Classic. It has excellent heuristics, a virus detection rate that is better than many of "paid-for" anti-virus programs and is light on using your computer’s resources. And did I mention that it’s free!

   Download here:
   http://www.free-av.com/

   Avoid an anti-virus called AVG (free version). It is wildly popular but has poor virus detection rates.

   ——————————–

   2. For your Firewall……….(Always use only 1 software firewall)

   A decent free firewall that is PC Tools Firewall Plus. One can either choose "Normal User Mode" Or "Expert User Mode"’depending on the desired detail of alerts and application custom rules.

   It is one of the few free firewalls that will work (and work well) on Vosta as well as XP and 2000.

   ——————————-

   3. For your Anti-Adware and Anti-Spyware needs……………(use at least 1, but 2 is better)

   Pick and choose, 2 anti-spywares from the list below and alternate scanning with them on a regular basis. New spywares are created literally hourly, so no single anti-spyware can really detect all malware. Have at least 2 on hand and alternate scanning with each every few days or so. All are free. All can remove as well as detect.

   Spybot Search and Destroy:
   http://www.safer-networking.org/en/spybotsd/index.html

   Ewido (now known as AVG Anti-spyware) Do NOT download AVG Anti-virus.:
   http://ewido.com

   AdAware 2007
   http://www.lavasoft.de/software/adaware/

   A-Squared:
   http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/free/

   SUPERAntiSpyware:
   http://www.superantispyware.com/

   Windows Defender:
   http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx

   Unfortunately, many "paid for" anti-spyware products are in fact either of limited usefulness or downright scams. When in doubt, look at the list of rogue anti-spyware solutions listed here:
   http://www.spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm

   —————————————–

   4. And to help protect your computer from ever getting infected with malware in the first place………… (use them both)

   SpywareBlaster helps to immunize your computer again certain selected malware.:

   SiteAdvisor warns you when visiting a potentionally malicious web-site:
   http://www.siteadvisor.com/

   ———————————–

   5. And always keep your Windows 100% updated and patched with all critical and security updates from Windows Updates. THIS IS A MUST! In Internet Explorer just click Tools then Windows Updates.

   ———————————-
   Everything here is 100% free!!!!!!

   Great luck! Enjoy!

    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
