Free Good AV's??

[Papewaio]

AVG Free. Check
Adaware Free. Check
Spybot S&D. Check... used as a last resort for particular intrusions.

I personally use ClamWin myself

[Alexander the Pretty Good]

I tried clamwin but it had a serious memory leak and thus would not finish scanning my laptop. Which kind of defeats the purpose.

If you use the internet responsibly (ie, with Firefox and NoScript) and don't download and install random crap, you'll be ok with occasional spyware scans, I think.

I may give AVG a shot.

Clamwin sounds like a shot for a particular VD.

And AVG Free just got a major upgrade that makes it run faster and better...

I get McAfee for free

Though I heard one of their recent updates actually contained a virus It hasn't affected me.

I installed the AVG anti-spyware program and it found lots of stuff that other programs did not find.

I run it once a day now.

Everything you need:

Spybot S&D
SpywareBlaster
AVG and AVG Anti Spyware
Ad-Aware

AVG Anti-Spyware (formerly Ewido Anti Spyware) is very good. It will detect malware that Spybot S&D and Ad-Aware will often miss. You should always download those programs from the links above, downloading them elsewhere could be risky as they may be fakes.

Thanks Xia. I going to keep my Firewall, becauses ppl are always trying to hack me sadly, and I been using IE (yes,you can beat me), but I'm going to jump and use FireFox (:) . Thaks m8, I'll download it now :) :)

I doubt people are trying to hack you. The "firewall" is simply alerting you to normal internet traffic which could be an attempted hacking attempt... This is what is commonly referred to as "Scareware". The aim is to make you think: "Wow all those hackers are outside trying to get in and the firewall is stopping them". If you really must use a software firewall try the Zonealarm free version.

I'm really liking AVG anti-virus.

THANK YOU GOD, I GOT ALL THE STUFF I NEED, PLUS A GOOD WAY TO FORMAT

And Yes Alexander, AVG picked up a Trojan in my Windows Files I presume

[ELITEofWARMANGINGERYBREADMEN88]

Also, is using a Free Software Firewall good,or should I just stick with buying one?

[DukeofSerbia]

Zone Alarm Pro is not free but probably one of the best integrated AV, antyspyware and firewall program.

Eset NOD32 is the best AV, and is cheap.
