I have been using free Avast anti-virus for home edition which is really good and decent free antivirus to protect your pc.

To get powerful antivirus, you need to buy it. If you download for free, free adsware and spyware will come to you pc too...

use a firewall, antivirus and spyware
if you are using xp pro then there is already
a built-in firewall for antivirus you can
use avast or clamwin these are free as far as I know
for spyware I recommend spybot (search and destroy)

I recently read that Avast is the best antivirus program right now. Google it and you'll find a download link.

The Ad-Aware program you have tried is not an antivirus program, it's an antispyware program. Having one of those is important too. I think the free Spybot program is better than Ad-Aware, though.

I recommend you install it and in the advanced settings choose to let Spybot scan for spyware whenever Windows starts (use the 3 minutes delay option). Also, choose the autoupdate option.

Hope this works for you.

Yes, there is an available software that you can download for free, for the sake of protecting your PC from malwares.

Currently, I have been using Avira Antivir Personal Classic Edition, which you can download for free at www.free-av.com

Have
a nice day and hope this would help!

Antivir + ZoneAlrm + WinXp Up to date, and you will be safe.

theres a lot of antivirus software available but if you really want to protect your computer against viruses and other attacks i recommend you to use "Deepfreeze". deepfreeze is the absolute PC protection. Deep Freeze instantly protects and preserves original computer configurations, eliminating routine IT maintenance while allowing complete unrestricted access to a workstation. Regardless of the changes made to a workstation, simply restart to reset the computer to its original state. The result is a protected, parallel network, free of viruses and unwanted programs. ever since i use deepfreeze i never have to buy and use anitvirus, antispyware, anti-trojan and other pc protection to protect my pc.

For free antivirus solutions, you can try three solutions, Antivir, AVG free or avast home edition. I prefer antivir of these three, and have been using it for 2-3 years now on my laptop, and it have been a life saver for a couple of times.

You will need to get a good free firewall as well as an antispyware suite. If you have a genuine windows, you can download windows defender, which is good at blocking spywares offering real time protection. If not, get adaware personal/ spybot SD, or avg free antispyware . Just google for all these softwares.

Yes you can use firewall security. That can be download from net. Also you can use Macafee as your protection software.

I've been using AVG free edition and also zone alarm both for free and with good results. I also use spybot with good results. In the last year hardly any virus could break it though it's true that I don't download much stuff.
