I personally use ClamWin myself
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.
And AVG Free just got a major upgrade that makes it run faster and better...Originally Posted by Papewaio
I get McAfee for free![]()
Though I heard one of their recent updates actually contained a virusIt 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.

Spybot S&D

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.
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.Originally Posted by {BHC}KingWarman888

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