Hello

 

Can anyone recommend free downloadable anti-virus, anti advert, anti trojan

software please.

 

I do have Norton, and its updated regularly, but I read so many horror

stories I would like to run other progs as well to be doubly sure.

 

Thanks

I like NOD32 Antivirus but it costs $39.95. For free antivirus, I like

Avast.

 

For Vista, I usually just leave on Windows Defender and let it do its thing

although in general I prefer not to have stuff like this running in the

background. For XP, I like Malwarebytes' Anti-malware program. There is a

free version which runs on demand.

 

The best anti-malware protection is an educated user.

AVG is FREE and one of the best I have found. I don't even use Norton's

anymore.

 

Sometimes running two at the same time, even though different, can cause

issues too.
