What is the best free computer security software?
Hey everyone, I’ve previously used AVG but my pc still got Trojans and viruses. So I went and bought norton 360 and the pc broke. So I’m getting A new laptop for Christmas and was wondering what the best anti virus software is?
Avast
windows defender,may be built in.
and “hijack this” is great for scanning.very easy to use
Try windows security essentials. There are plenty of free security programs at http://www.komando.com/securitycenter .
I’ve been through exactly the same, Norton is terrible.
I currently use AVG but all I seem to get from anti-virus and protection is hassle so I’m not too bothered if I’m honest – but I have heard that StopZilla is brilliant and only costs about £9 or so for a year.
Protection follows five main security software programs:
1 a firewall (install only one)
2 an anti-virus (install only one)
3 an anti-spyware/malware (install two or three)
4 a secure browser
5 a disk cleaner (temporary files,etc.)
Free firewalls:
Comodo Internet Security (just the firewall and not the anti-virus)
ZoneAlarm
PC Tools Firewall Plus
Outpost
Online Armor
Free anti-virus:
