My People PC account comes with free email Antivirus.  Do I need to purchase additional Antivirus software?

Email antivirus software or scanning is a good thing but it does not protect your computer from viruses that enter by something other than email. You can get viruses in a lot of ways--- Instant Messenger, from a disk you load, peer-to-peer programs (filesharing).  Email antivirus is not complete protection for your computer. You probably want to purchase an antivirus package that protects the PC itself as well as your email. It's worth the investment. Make sure you get one that you can set up to update the virus patterns on its own, since virus writers release new viruses all the time. Symantec, McAfee, PCCillan and FProt are just a few. Most have trial versions so check them out one by one and decide which you like best.

Avast has a scanner and virus cleaner. You have to have the free home edition anti-virus software though. I really like this one. I had a win32.sasser on mine and it washed it right out and restored some files. My PC is running smoother now. It also has a kick a$$ database update. The only thing that it doesn't seem to be compatible with is the Adaware software. But that is because it is a data miner. AND on the plus side of things, both the anti-virus and the cleaner are totally free. Yeah, I have the Adaware SE on my computer too. But you can set it up to accept the program as safe file.

Ad-Aware SE Personal is definitely the best free antivirus out there.  Find it at http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/

If you want free use AVAST or AVG for Antivirus (completely free)\n\nIf you want spyware use AdAware SE or Spybot S&E (completely free)

I would say, yes you DO need an antivirus.  If you wonder if it's doing it's job, then go to Panda or Housecall (by trendmicro) and do an "online scan" (Symantec (Norton)) also has one (a free online scan). . \n\nso you can get a 2nd opinion. . \n\n\nwho cares what the interface on AVG looks like?  If it's free and doing it's job, you never have to mess with it. . just let it run!\n\nMy two cents.\n\n(btw, I hope that the anti-spyware programs you are using are Spybot Search and Destroy, Lavasoft AdAware SE Personal and Spywareblaster (from Javacoolsoftware.com).\n\nIf you aren't using those, I would highly recommend it.\n\nAlso good and free is Ewido\n\ngood luck and God bless you.

There is no antivirus that can solve all problems ( In my opinion =)  )\nDepends on how vulnerable your PC is, you can run different programs periodically to detect malware.\nI personally used all of the free online scanner below.\nKapersky, Activescan Panda, Trend-Micro, Norton security response. AVG is pretty good as well.\nLast thing is, use firewall, anti-spyware program if necessary.

AVG Free!\n\nYou will need a new anti-virus as the one that comes with it is generally a trial, don't worry you can get one free. AVG anti-virus is the best on the market and will be part of Microsoft's Vista, in January.

Try Norton anti-virus or Panda or any of the others.  There are even some online scanners, but  just delete the email if you are not infected yet.\n\nThat should be worth 10 points!

McPhee if you have comcast its free but if you want to buy I would say Norton. There realy is no "GOOD" free antivirus. The free ones will only strip your computer and take vital info then they resell them and you will start getting spam emails and the whole thing.

again i got this question lol.here is the answer..\nWhile I can't give out the Symantec antivirus corporate edition for  PC's, you can choose to install either of the following on your PC :\nAVG antivirus (which has a freeware edition), available from http://www.grisoft.com and also\nAVAST antivirus home edition (which also has a freeware edition), available from http://www.avast.com/eng/down_home.html\nAs noted above, both of these products are available free of charge to the end user. \nInstead of free antivirus software, you can also chose to go with one of the more popular/widely used antivirus vendors http://www.Mcafee.com or  http://www.symantec.com .Both of these vendors are likely to provide you with better customer support compared to the free antivirus vendors mentioned above.

Your are correct to remove exsisting antivirus before installing a new one. Also only one antivirus should be installed on an operationg system at a time.\n\nYou will most likely have one of 3 antivirus. Norton, PC-Cillin, or MacAfee. The newer versions require a removal program available at the products website. I believe however these programs can be un-installed from the Add/Remove Program in the Control Panel.\n\nThe antivirus you have choosen to install, eTrust EZ Antivirus, form CA is a good program. They are a well respected member of the Security Community. With the programs you need to protect your computer these days I would not recommend it unless you computer is a P-III and has min. of 256mb of RAM. In conjunction to the antivirus there are several other antispyware programs that should be up and running.\n\nI would like you to consider freeware alternative to CA product. They demand less resources and are as I noted free.\n\nhttp://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic3616.html\n\n\nGood luck.
