HELP, I need an anti-virus for my laptop!

have u tried avg scan..u can download free trial for 30 days...I had this before getting another software..It works well

I have went through the responses, and all of them have a good idea.

There are many anti-virus program but there is no "The Best Anti-Virus Program". If you have the money, you can buy anti-virus program, but if otherwise, you may want to try one of the free edition of anti-virus.

For that, I suggest AVG free edition, it works well on my laptop. Not just that, I have read many review on AVG free edition, and many people claimed, for a free edition, AVG is working great.

Again, there is no "The Best Anti-Virus Program". So, you may want to install two anti-virus. As for me, I use AVG anti-virus free edition plus, I also use COMODO Internet Security. COMODO Internet Security has both firewall and anti-virus program. I make COMODO as my main anti-virus, where I shut down AVG (through msconfig), and once or twice in a day, I turn AVG on, update it, and scan my whole laptop with AVG. After it done, I turn it off again.

This is because some viruses can be detected by some anti-virus program when other cant.

Just to let you know, your laptop may have been infected by viruses without you realizing it, so, after you install anti-virus program, the anti-virus may not able to detect the viruses. Especially if the viruses has clarify itself as the administrator of your computer. It happen to me once! So, if I were you, I will format my computer first, then I will install firewall and anti-virus program.

Goodluck! Let me know the update.:)

I would advise you get Avast anti-virus as soon as possible. I've had it on my laptop for ages and it works excellent, although I don't get viruses very often. From my experience, it does a great job and doesn't slow down your computer. Best of all: it's free.

If you choose to go for Avast, I suggest scheduling a scan at the start-up of your computer. This way, the viruses are found and deleted before Windows (assuming that you have a PC=P) starts up completely and functions.

I would also recommend getting an anti-spyware program for anti-spyware particularly. I would go suggest you go for Spybot: Search & Destroy or Ad-Aware: both are free. Remember that they're not anti-viruses though, so you'll need Avast or something similar to work with them.

there is somany free antivirus is there in net, why should u get worry about this, try avg free anti virus it is best for ur laptop....

try this website www.filehippo.com get a free avg there.. that was so great..

I use Avast anti virus. it can be downloaded from the avast website. Best thing is that for personal use it is free. You cna also down load a registration key and register it after you install it. Everytime you connect to the internet it automatically looks for upgrades and gets updated. It is quite effective.

y3ah
go to safe mode and enable ur hidden files
and then delete the virus from teh drive
or take it to someone's computer which is really secure
like mine!
happy lottin n have a nice day

Hi,
the best is NOD32!

There are a lot of antivirus softs, they say tha the best is "kaspersky", but it makes the PC run slower

Use AVAST! This FREE software was actually suggested by my internet provider... there are 2 free downloads you need... the 'cleaner' and the antivirus 'home'... The only thing my internet provider stressed prior to dowloading the software is that I uninstall my old antivirus software (which was norton).
I have had no problems with AVAST and am very happy!
