Some like Norton. Just make sure that you keep what ever program you get updated. There are some that are free I can't remember the one my husband really liked. I'll try to remember to ask him when he gets back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't want to do that, you can download some software that is free. You should protect your computer though; my daughter lost her expensive laptop's hard drive to a virus a couple of years ago. Lesson hard learned.

McAfee is good. I'm not sure how it works with Windows 7 yet, but I would think they have it worked out. It's not free, but has some extras like SiteAdvisor which denotes safe and unsafe sites (for cookies and tracking software). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest B1inHim Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 AVG is better than a lot of them and you can get it free if you do not want the hassle of paying out money that one might need to say, pay for internet service... It comes with no adware and does not take up a lot of RAM like Norton or MaAfee does, giving you he freedom to post here without wiating minutes for the boot to complete Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
