HELP, I need an anti-virus for my laptop! email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 91/100. dorisday1971 (1576)   ranked 182 out of 13,923 in internet7 months ago

I have no anti-virus in my computer. I got some files downloaded to my laptop and then copied the same files to my USB and put the USB to a computer in the internet cafe. When I used the USB in my laptop again, some files were deleted. When I checked my USB for viruses, it shocked me for all files were "infected" with viruses. I'm afraid my laptop also has a virus.

Anyone can help me where to get a free anti-virus? What is the most effective anti-virus? Thanks.

We use Avast which is free online. I've used it for years with good results. Mine is set to scan anything coming on my computer, even my email. But you would do good to use another program, called Advanced Windows Care, which is also a free product. It checks everything on your computer, even your registry and fixes it for you. It is good combined with Avast. I love them both.


myLot reputation of 91/100. dorisday1971 (1576)   ranked 182 out of 13,923 in internet  7 months ago

Can I use Avast together with another anti virus,, I mean like AVG or nORTON?


myLot reputation of 51/100. MichaelCorleone (218)   ranked 9,326 out of 13,923 in internet  7 months ago

Come on friend!!!

why do u need 2 anti virus softwares?

They will just eat into your resources, especially your RAM!!!
If you have NORTON, then better not go for the FREE ones
Just keep updating it regularly


myLot reputation of 91/100. dorisday1971 (1576)   ranked 182 out of 13,923 in internet  7 months ago

Thank you for the information.


myLot reputation of 96/100. Barb42 (2668)   ranked 1,884 out of 13,923 in internet  7 months ago

You shouldn't need 2 anti-virus programs. We've had Norton and never would use it again. It does not catch as much as Avast. My husband used AVG for a long time, and found now that Avast is even better than AVG. But I suppose it's whatever you like or get used to. It's just that Norton has given us problems.


myLot reputation of 91/100. dorisday1971 (1576)   ranked 182 out of 13,923 in internet  7 months ago

Advanced Windows Care sounds good. Thanks.


myLot reputation of 96/100. Barb42 (2668)   ranked 1,884 out of 13,923 in internet  7 months ago

Check it out. It really is a great product to have on your computer.


myLot reputation of 91/100. dorisday1971 (1576)   ranked 182 out of 13,923 in internet  7 months ago

I'm considering Avast now. .


myLot reputation of 48/100. bittertruth (105)   ranked 2,358 out of 13,923 in internet  7 months ago

You guys are noob or what?

this guy is running all over the internet without Antivirus. He might not even know there is anything like firewall and anti-spywares. on top of that, there are lots of bogus and rogue security softwares pretending as a security softwares which I'm sure this guy is totally unaware of. And, you guys are telling him to get 2 or 3 antivirus in one system. You guys are terrible.

I've not followed other pages..but I'm here giving you some advice.
You go online without antivirus and firewall, anything you do on that computer is not safe at all after 1 hour or sooner than that.

I've personally caught many port sniffer's/scanner's incoming links on my firewall softwares giving try to find any glitches and possibly attacking your system if their luck is at charm.

Go and download:
Avg Free AntiVirus (search on google)
Spybot search and Destroy (anti spywares)
Comodo Firewall (search on google)

Always keep loaded your computer with those stuffs I've mentioned above.
Best of luck.


myLot reputation of 96/100. Barb42 (2668)   ranked 1,884 out of 13,923 in internet  7 months ago

I don't see where anyone has advised him to get 2 or 3 anti-virus programs in one. The Advanced Windows care is not an anti-virus program like AVAST, which is the one I advised him to get. It's better than AVG, which both my husband and I have used for a long time, until it stopped getting everything that came through. Avast has. AWC does lots of things, such as checking the register, finding miners, etc.

By the way, what did you mean with the sentence "You guys are noob or what?" I have no idea what you are talking about.

Hi johny,

Welcome to mylot
Even I had given the link to free AVG download too mate;)
Our choices do match;)





johnnylee (25)  7 months ago

I use this myself.

I found Norton take up too many of my memory.


Touch wood, so far no virus yet:P



myLot reputation of 96/100. Barb42 (2668)   ranked 1,884 out of 13,923 in internet  7 months ago

I've never used that one. I do think that Kaspersky is the best one. I used it until they started charging for it and I found Avast.


myLot reputation of 51/100. MichaelCorleone (218)   ranked 9,326 out of 13,923 in internet  7 months ago

Same is my case Johny,
I too turned to AVG from Norton.

hi buddy,,,,
there are various antivirus available on the net which provide few of there services for free,,,like you can use anti avira,,,,its nice but it also doesnt protect your pc fully from viruses,,,,for that you bneed to purchase the full version of the software otherwise you can go for the norton antivirus demo versiobn and you can download the crack to make it full for free but remember dont vere register that version


myLot reputation of 91/100. dorisday1971 (1576)   ranked 182 out of 13,923 in internet  7 months ago

I am not yet ready to purchase that full version anti-virus software, that is why I am just looking for free or trial version for the meantime. thanks anyway.

I am currently using avast home edition for my personal computer, which is free for personal use. I find it quite useful, also it has daily update, so it always helps you to protect your computer from the latest virus. It always comes with spyware protection.
You can download the program here:
http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html

If you prefer, you can download this AVG free edition too. [http://free.avg.com/]

I will check it too. Thanks.

hello there friend...

i suggest you to try kaspersky internet security... it's the best anti-virus ever... it scans and detects every virus in your computer... it also actively monitors your computer in real-time to prevent any virus getting into your computer... it doesn't take a lot of RAM and computer loads so it's really perfect anti-virus solution for you... another good anti-virus is NOD32's ESET smart security... this anti-virus also good it the scanning and protecting terms... try it both... then you can determine which is best for your computer...


flurrygent (90)   ranked 3,021 out of 13,923 in internet  7 months ago

yah. me too. i'm prefer to use Nod32. and its free.=D


myLot reputation of 91/100. dorisday1971 (1576)   ranked 182 out of 13,923 in internet  7 months ago

Many of the internet cafes use NOD 32. Is there a free or trial version of it too?


myLot reputation of 83/100. Kumaresan (378)   ranked 3,542 out of 13,923 in internet  7 months ago

i think both are available to download... try it...


myLot reputation of 91/100. dorisday1971 (1576)   ranked 182 out of 13,923 in internet  7 months ago

myLot reputation of 91/100. dorisday1971 (1576)   ranked 182 out of 13,923 in internet  7 months ago

I agree with you. I don't understand why there are people whose business is purely to destroy others computer and files by putting those viruses.

Hi dorisday:) First of all, you should format your USB. If you want to install anti virus on your laptop, just search directly to what ever anti virus you want. For example, if you want avira so just directly go to avira site and download their anti virus there. Im using avira and AVG right now, and it protect my laptop very well. I didn't brought any anti virus, I just download the free version. The important thing is you have to update your anti virus regularly and always scan your USB before you use it on your laptop. Happy caring:) Good Luck!!
