Answer 3

There is no "best" answer. You will probably only get speculation and a lot of biased opinions by asking on here.



I do not know why you didn't like McAfee and I do not know why you don't trust Norton.



I have found that most people who say they have had a problem with either of those programs did not properly configure them in the first place. While they certainly do get more convoluted as they go on to bigger and badder versions... the bottom line is if you use them properly you will be well secured. As long as you a) configure them properly b) use safe browsing habits c) perform basic computer maintenance like patching programs you use / running windows updates d) use common sense



I would say pick a security suite and use it with vigilance ad if there's something you don't like about it.. perhaps you should look into how you might be able to learn that feature or configure it to your liking. I personally like McAfee but I don't believe in providing biased advice.



Good Luck

Answer 4

All of them work but the truth is that is really hard to find one that covers all the viruses, try to use one that get frequently updated, this is the combination of free softwares that i recommend because i have being using them for over 2 years then when i change to vista they still works great. Other thing you should do is avoid untrusted sites because they are the source of malware, also be careful when downloading from the web scan every file after downloading but before running it.

Download and install the following softwares, then restart your computer in safe mode( if you don't know how click this link http://www.pchell.com/support/safemode.s...

then when windows start scan your computer and heal all the infected files, also try an antispyware.



1-. AVG free edition (antivirus only), get it free at http://www.grisoft.com/doc/download-free...



2-. Ad.Aware 2007 (antispyware)

5.- Zone alarm (firewall) Equip your system to deal with Web-based security threats including hackers, viruses, and worms.

What i recommend is to use the spybot S D only once per week. Then use AVG and Ad-aware as default for daily use. Use ccleaner two times per week to keep your PC running smoothly, Never install more than one antivirus, as they may conflict with each other.On the other hand, is always good to use more than one anti spyware
