Freeware - spy, ad, & virus?

is there a freeware program that does it all???



Spyware, adware and Viruses???



Freeware - spy, ad, %26 virus?microsoft office



No, but I have used AVG Anti Virus, Zone Alarm Firewall, Spy-bot Search and Destroy and Ad Aware both spyware killers for years. They are all free for personal use and I have had no trouble with Viruses Trojans etc. AVG does not slow the system down as much as some other products and Zone Alarm allows a lot of personal configuration unlike the Windows Firewall. They can all be downloaded from the following linkhttp://www.computeractive.co.uk/. On the home page select downloads and then the appropriate category.I also use Windows Defender from the Microsoft site. It is safe to use two anti-spy products but never use more than one A/V as it can cause conflicts. You should run A/V and anti spy weekly. Hope this helps



Freeware - spy, ad, %26 virus?norton antivirus



^^^like he said avg is the way to go i had norton and it told me my comp had no spayware avg then removed 9 files with spyware good stuff
AVG
You could in install Returnil. That way anything that does install will be automatically deleted at the end of your current computer usage session. Unfortunately they will have until the end of your current session to bother you before they are deleted, but any damage a virus does do is either going to be permanent, such as destroying the computer BIOS or info transferred to someone else, or gone when you shut the computer off.
