Spybot search and destroy.....for other malware try ad-aware SE...these are both free. For viruses I have tried Norton and McCafrey, but I hated them. I use AVG 7.1...It is free and works like a charm. Windows defender is not very good. I have XP SP2 and use the three I listed above earlier. Good Luck!!

Get AVG free antivirus- download it install it and run it. Its a good one. Try a combination of three- AVG- antivirus, spybot- anty spy and Zonealarm- as a firewall.\n\nAll three are free and legal.

For any computer desktop or laptop , I recommend the following combination of security stuffs:\n\n1. Good antivirus (best free one is AVG antivirus). if you already have something like norton,symantec thats fine. I don't recommend Mcafee.\n2. Firewall(I recommend zonealram free version. other good one is kerio or outpost). Just one is fine.\n3. Good spyware remover. I recommend install two of them such as adaware se personal edition and spybot search and destroy. both are free.\n\nActually, all free I have recommended. The last but not least is to select proper browser because most security problems starts from browsing habit. In this case, my one and only choice is to use opera browser (www.opera.com). it has the best track record of security(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Browser_comparison#Vulnerabilities). its great.\n\nBe happy with your computer experience with above combination. its all about the total experience.

When choosing a Firewall, Spyware Blocker, or Anti-Virus programs, it's always best to find what fits your own needs based on the level of use.\n\nCheck out Major Geeks.  It's a resource I often find myself turning to when I need a new little toy or gadget for online use.\n\nThey've got some free anti virus protection programs there you can download as well.

Hi ,\n\n  I use the AVG Anti Virus Personal Edition.\nMake a search on google for this. \nFor spyware Ad Aware is a decent program. \n\nRegs,\nm

Smart question. It is tricky business indeed.\nWell, I recomend:\n- Kaspersky AntiVirus Personal Pro (for antiviral purposes)\n- ZoneAlarm Pro (a truly powerfull firewall, trust me!)\n- Ad-Aware Pro (besides the excellent spyware detection rate is has an useful antispyware shield)\n- Mozilla Firefox (as main browser - it is the safest)\nIf all of this seems too complicated, you might want to try the Kaspersky Security Suite. Anyway I do NOT recommend neither Norton nor Trend Micro. McAfee maybe, or BitDefender Internet Security 2006. This is all. Have fun searching for these on Google.\nI mention that I have tested these all...

My personal favorite is Zonelabs ZoneAlarm Pro.. but just get the firewall pro.. they have different versions that come with antivirus and antispyware programs... but just the Firewall is all you really want from them.

Reformat your hard drive if you have to. Try and save what info you have then reformat. Install avast anti virus, an anti adware program from www.downloads.com and a free firewall program. There's some options out there FREE for home users.\n\nThe key to keeping your computer safe from adware is to stop downloading programs from unknown sources. You can always check sources by doing a search on Yahoo! or Google and check their news sites too. Or simply ask in this forum. Make sure you have trusted sources OK.

i would sugest getting a fire wall to.  but for a antivirus i would sugest avg at http://free.grisoft.com/doc/2/lng/us/tpl/v5. the download butting is about 2/3 thirds the way down the screen and is in a orange graf.  for spyware i would sugest spybot surch and distroy (i know u said anti spam but i think this is what u meen, if not the next program has it).  you can get that at http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/Spybot_Search_and_Destroy/1043809773/1.  And for the fire wall wich has the anti spam ul want zone alarm wich as is one of the best fire walls i know, even better then norton.  you can get that at http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/catalog/products/sku_list_za.jsp?dc=12bms&ctry=US&lang=en&lid=dbtopnav_zass.  these are all very good programs and there developers worked verry hard on them to give you the best program possible.  they don't require you to donate, and they dont shove it in your face eather.  but if you have the money to spare plz do, because that and the kindness of the developers are the only things that let you get there software free.

Antivirus programs protect you against malicious programs that run on your computer (via e-mail attachments, instant message networks, P2P, etc.). They look at your local files as you access them for suspicious contents.\n\nA firewall protects your machine against network-based attacks by blocking traffic according to rules, either by default or ones you set. (Some firewalls can also set privileges for applications, so only the applications you specify can access the Internet. If you get a malicious program, it gets blocked by the firewall.) It looks at your network traffic for suspicious activity.\n\nAnti-spyware programs either sit in memory and watch for identified sites or programs, or they "inoculate" your system against potential exploits, or they scan your machine for spyware on demand. They're like an extenstion of your antivirus protection. I use Ad-Aware, Spybot S&D, and JavaCool SpywareBlaster. They're donationware (Ad-Aware has a paid version you can buy, which gives you real-time protection).\n\nYou should really have at least antivirus and a firewall. If you have a router between you and the Internet, you can get away without the firewall, but it's still better to have one. This is "defense in depth" (or "belt and suspenders" for the engineer types) -- it's another layer an attacker has to deal with.\n\nI used to be a real advocate of Symantec products, but I've had  horrible problems with their recent versions and their activation scheme. I did some testing, and as a result, I went with Trend Micro's PC-Cillin, which includes antivirus and a firewall for your computer. The whole package is $60, I think. You can download a fully-functional 30-day evaluation copy at their site.\n\nDisclaimer: Other people I know have gone with Avast or AVG and been just as happy.
