I've stopped updating my McAfee Anti-Virus.\nIf you are cheap (like me) there is a good anti-virus\nprogram called AVG from Grisoft that is free for\npersonal use.\n\nYou can download it here (link near bottom of page):\nhttp://free.grisoft.com/freewe...\n\nBefore you install this program be sure to UNINSTALL\nany other anti-virus program that you currently have\ninstalled. Anti-virus programs don't play well\ntogether so you should have only one anti-virus\nprogram installed at any given time.\n\nZone Alarm is a FREE firewall program that provides good protection.  \n\nYou can download it here:\nhttp://www.zonelabs.com/store/...\n\nWhen you install Zone Alarm you will be prompted to\nchoose the free trial to Zone Alarm Pro or just Zone\nAlarm, choose the Zone Alarm (just the firewall)\nbecause it's free. Zone Alarm monitors incoming and\noutgoing transmissions. It will take a little effort\nto get the settings up and running but it's easy and\nworth the time.\n\nAlong with scanning for viruses stopping spyware is important too.  \nThere are 3 good FREE programs that are effective at dealing with spyware, Ad-aware SE Personal 1.05 (removes spyware), Spybot Search & Destroy (blocks and removes spyware), Spyware Blaster 3.2 (blocks spyware). I have all 3 of these programs installed on my PC and they work well together without any conflicts. After these programs are installed they need to be updated on a regular basis to be effective. These programs will have to be manually updated.\n\nYou can download Ad-aware SE Personal 1.05 here (click on "Download Now" near top left of page):\nhttp://www.download.com/Ad-Awa...\n\nAd-aware SE Personal 1.05 will scan your PC and\nidentify spyware that should be removed. Ad-aware\ndefinition files are updated about once a week.\n\n\nSpybot Search and Destroy can be downloaded here:\nhttp://www.safer- etworking.org/en/mirrors/index...\n\nSpybot Search and Destroy will "Check for Problems"\n(scan) your PC for spyware that should be removed.\nBe sure to use the "Immunize" feature that blocks\nknown spyware from getting onto your PC. Spybot\nSearch and Destroy detection files are updated about\nonce a month.\nAfter you update Spybot Search and Destroy each month be sure to "immunize" your PC so that the updated spyware threats will be blocked.\n\n\n\nSpyware Blaster 3.2 can be downloaded here:\nhttp://www.javacoolsoftware.co...\n\nAfter the program is installed be sure to click on\n"Enable All Protection" so the program blocks spyware.\nDetection files are updated about once a month. After updates are installed each month be sure to click on "Enable All Protection" again so the updated detection files are applied.\n\n\nYou may also want to use Mozilla Firefox 1.07 as your\nprimary web browser. Firefox is an excellent program,\nand I have been using it for several months now.\nFirefox has fewer security flaws than Internet\nExplorer. You will still need to use Internet\nExplorer to download Microsoft updates.\nYou can download Firefox here:\nhttp://www.mozilla.org/product...\n\n\nBe sure you have all the critical updates from\nMicrosoft for Windows and Internet Explorer.\nOpen Internet Explorer, click on "Tools" and select\n"Windows Update".

your anti virus company better not be give'n you updates based on your IP address! thats privacy invasion! they should be set up on a username and password system! \n\nwhen you reinstall your anti virus and connect to the company for updates, they should go off your unlock key, or username and password.

Run anti virus and reboot.

You have to be connected to the internet to download the updated files for your anti virus, and then you need to give the program permission to install them.  You should give the program permission to do this automatically, so, any time you go on line and an update is available, it will automatically do it for you.  This is Critical, as new bugs show up sometimes Daily.\n\nYou should then set the program to be actively scanning your emails, and run a scan periodically , full computer.

Hi, To find out if you have an anti virus program and its name; right click on any file or folder and see if the option\n-- SCAN WITH....(name of antivirus program).....is available.\nIf it is there, then you have an antivirus program.\n\nIf you need to download one-- AVG is an excellent choice.\n\nAll the best

You can upgrade to the NEW AVG FREE antivirus software and it's still free.  When you download it say you want to "repair" it and then it will upgrade you.  Still FREE.\n\nOtherwise you can find other antivirus and tons of other free programs here: http://www.filehippo.com/

I would download AVG Anti-Virus (it's free), update the virus definitions, then run a scan while in Safe Mode\n\nTo start in Safe Mode - restart the computer and as it begins to boot up tap the F8 key on your keyboard until you see an alternate menu, one of the options being 'Safe Mode'\n\nThen I would run a full system scan and let AVG remove anything it finds.\n\nIt couldn't hurt in install SpyBot Search & Destroy and AdAware (two free anti-spyware programs) while in Safe Mode as well.\n\nTo read more about Safe Mode - go here - http://www.malwaresolutions.com/how_to_start_in_safe_mode.html\n\nTo download AVG Anti-Virus (and other free anti-virus applications) go here http://www.malwaresolutions.com/tools_anti_virus.html\n\nTo download SpyBot and AdAware (and other free anti-spyware) go here - http://www.malwaresolutions.com/tools_spyware.html\n\nThis is a link to a page on How to Remove Viruses - http://www.malwaresolutions.com/how_to_remove_viruses.html\n\nAfter all the malware is removed I would uninstall any other anti-virus software and keep AVG but that is a personal opinion.\nGood luck - I hope this helps!

Hi,\n\n1. Use Windows Update to update your machine first since you told me its already 2 years, so you will need to catch up the windows patches.\n   Internet Explorer -> Tools -> Windows Update\n\n2. Use Spyboy search and destroy to help you to kill the spyware.\nFor some review and download link: \nhttp://dragonboy2006.blogspot.com/2006/03/spyware-including-free-spyware.html\n\n3. Install an Antivirus - I will assume you are using for your home PC, so lets try AVG antivirus - Free for personal use. its a decent and updated very frequently.\nFor some review for AVG antivirus and download link:\nhttp://dragonboy2006.blogspot.com/2006/03/virus-computer-including-free.html\n\n4.

There are many free security programs available for download. \n\nAn anti-virus program is a must. If your PC came with Norton or McAfee anti-virus and you have NOT been updating the virus definition files your PC is at risk. If your subscription to Norton or McAfee has lapsed and you have not renewed your subscription so that you can receive virus definition updates then your PC is at risk.\nAn anti-virus program is only effective if the virus\ndefinition files are updated on a regular basis (at\nleast once a week). If you are cheap (like me) there is a good anti-virus program called AVG from Grisoft that is free for personal use.\n\nYou can download it here (link near bottom of page):\nhttp://free.grisoft.com/doc/2/lng/us/tpl/v5\n\nBefore you install this program be sure to UNINSTALL\nany other anti-virus program that you currently have\ninstalled.
