Does anyone know of some good Anti-Virus programs that I can download instead of paying to renew the one I have now?

I would totally agree with Colleen that is what I use and my brother installed it for me and he is our computer guy since he has a degree in computer repair. I figure if it is good enough for him then it is great for me.

My internet provider offers free anti-virus and firewall protection. I have Comcast.

This is what I use as well. I am VERY happy with it, but I ended up buying the full version of it. It was very cheap and it will cover all three of my computers. I have never had a virus on it since!!!


I think AVG is the best!

I have had this happen all the time here lateyl. I assume it is something in an update Greg has done for the site.

I use this too. I have a good friend who is very 'techie'....he builds computers and networks and he uses it too.

My husband is tech support for a major computer company and will only use and recommend AVG. It is the only one he will trust on all our computers.

I use AVG as well - I'm very happy with it.

Those are good programs. 2 other free programs that you should download and run once in awhile are: Spybot search & Destroy and Lavasoft Ad-Aware. Please use the links in my message, esp after we learned yesterday how a lot of online "companies" will charge you for a free product!!

I download AVG at work and will be doing it on my home computer too.

It has already found one virus and healed it at work.

My hubby and I (both can be classified as techies - him more so than me!) use AVG. It is the best program out there without paying. I wouldn't trust much else unless it was other "name brands".

On Ad-aware, I like to use it occasionally, but if you behave and don't go everywhere you won't have issues. If you have McAfee though, Ad-aware is considered a virus program to it and you will have issues. Norton also has issues with some of those too...

Turn on your windows firewall, use AVG and you should do pretty well.
