What is a good anti-virus and anti-spyware that I can download for free?
Comodo=Best free firewall Avg=Best free anti virus, takes up a very small amount of computer resources Only run 1 firewall and 1 anti virus, disable your windows firewall in the control panel-security center when you add a new firewall. As far as anti-spyware I let spyware doctor run, and scan with these scanners every so often ad-aware super antispyware Spybot Search and destroy Dr.web cureit ( I just tried this one and was very very impressed) ftp://ftp.drweb.com/pub/drweb/cureit/drw… Also get spywareguard for prevention and spyblaster. Make sure your windows is updated and make sure you update each of these progams before you run them. For a in depth scan, use this program in safe mode, hot f8 while your computer boots to enter safe mode. Here is a site where you can get expert help if needed http://www.bleepingcomputer.co
