security - on a budget????

Yes, I know of a very good one. I even got rid of my Norton to download it onto my new computer. It's called AVG and Grisoft are the company who supply it. It's free, and very good. I've used it for six years now. The only thing I would point out is that it protects your computer against viruses only. If you want protection against spyware and adware, you need to upgrade and pay an annual fee, but I have a free spyware and adware programme also... these are not hard to find. Try this link: http://www.grisoft.com/ , then search for the free AVG download. You won't be sorry, I promise you. Brightest Blessings.

Try Avast! It's also good.
