Any good,free, recommended, antivirus/spyware?

What are some good antivirus/antispyware programs I can download?



Any good,free, recommended, antivirus/spyware?internet security software



I have used AVG Anti Virus, Zone Alarm Firewall, Spy-bot Search and Destroy and Ad Aware both spyware killers for years. They are all free for personal use and I have had no trouble with Viruses Trojans etc. AVG does not slow the system down as much as some other products and Zone Alarm allows a lot of personal configuration unlike the Windows Firewall. They can all be downloaded from http://www.download.com/ I also use Windows Defender from the Microsoft site. It is safe to use two anti-spy products but never use more than one A/V as it can cause conflicts. You should run A/V and anti spy weekly. Hope this helps



Any good,free, recommended, antivirus/spyware?moto guzzi



1. Avira antivir personal - best free antivirus software



2. Moon Secure - has real time and a good open source antivirus with basic antispyware capabilities



3. Avast home edition - good antivirus with spyware detection capabilities although still generate lots of false positives



4. AVG - good for only basic protection. misses most dangerous malwares.



5. Bitdefender free - a good antivirus but does not have real time.

A security center question?

i recently installed spyware terminator to use as my main line antispyware program and vista security center does not recognize it, i turned off windows defenders real time protection and a security warning came up, so i selected the option to monitor a program myself which made the warning go away.



why won't it recognize ST? is this a big deal?



i even uninstalled it and reinstalled it to make sure it was installed correctly with the same result.



A security center question?internet security



Windows Security Center is not capable of recognizing ALL of the security software out there, because there are just too many of names on the market. So Windows limits its "knowledge" to a handful of popular brands.



A security center question?network security



Download Spyware terminator, vista version...That should solve the problem.
It's cool



It's good.
sweety i dunno either--
dude I dunno know

The window says: Your computer was infected by unknown trojan. Its dangerous for you system (critical files can be lost)! Click ok to download the antispyware program to clean your system! (Recommmended)



It's drving me nuts everytime I change the page it pops up and I had to turn my speakers off because it makes an annoying sound.

How do I remove a window that pops up everytime I change from one page to the other?network



It might be on the website you are on. If you get it for the same website everytime, you should get a popup blocker. Firefox has one built in. If it is on a variety of different websites, it actually an infection on your computer, but you should not click on the popup. Possibly think about investing in a good antivirus program or use a free one such as AVG Antivirus.
1. Download and run firefox to protect your from future spyware attacks and pop ups which are coming in through internet explorer (Trojan downloaders, win32 ) .Then update your windows through firefox



Browser attacks aren't easy to spot because they piggyback on legitimate traffic that doesn't exhibit many obvious warning signs

Spyware, HELP!?

my computer was infected with spyware, and I cant seem to get rid of it. I've tried everything like virus scans and it detected it, and i deleted it, but my computer is still infected. And I cannot go to a website and download an antispyware because it's blocked from the spyware virus..I'm stuck and dont know what to do! Help someone please? Thanks



Spyware, HELP!?ktm



These days you need a whole lot more than just a virus protection. Only about 15% of all malware is viruses. The rest is worms, trojans, phishing schemes, spyware, etc.



Here's some ideas to make Internet Security Suite (securitycenter) for free. Free is always the best.



--------------------------------------...



1. For your Anti-Virus......(Always use only 1 A-V...You must NEVER use more than one anti-virus, Even an expired anti-virus can cause a major conflict...(did I mention that you MUST uninstall any old anti-virus products?)



For your anti-virus needs, I would suggest Avira AntiVir庐 PersonalEdition Classic. It has excellent heuristics, a virus detection rate that is better than many of "paid-for" anti-virus programs and is light on using your computer's resources. And did I mention that it's free!



Download here:

Avoid an anti-virus called AVG (free version). It is wildly popular but has poor virus detection rates.

What is this AWOLA thing and Yellow Triangle w/ ! on my PC???

There is this thing that popped up and says your PC is infected. When I close the pop-up, it loads up this green scanner and starts scanning. Then I closed the icon and tried to remove it in Add/Remove but its not there. I click on the Start menu and see that it has an unistall button. So i click on that and it never did anything...I don't get it...



Is there a FREE Anti-Spyware Remover that I can download to get rid of AWOLA?...I tried downloading all these stupid antispyware that requires you to pay for spyware removal. PLEASE HELP ME!!!

I've look at other people's suggestions for websites that have "free spyware remover," but they all require me to purchase their Spyware Remover Tool.



Is there any real FREE REMOVER anywhere in this WORLD that I don't have to pay for??? T.T



What is this AWOLA thing and Yellow Triangle w/ ! on my PC???live update



Awola Anti-Spyware 6.0 is a new rogue anti-spyware that can be dangerous for your security and privacy. Awola claims to purchase itself in order to remove reported spyware and adware. But in real Awola produce false positives, it have no spyware detection and removal engine. Awola is a representative of badware family. It can bypass antiviruses and install other spyware to track users activity, save keystrokes and then generate targeted advertisments (pop up's, browser hijackers). Never download Awola, it's useless for spyware removal.

Computer pop up problems.?

Okay so just about two nights ago i had sent some audio from my phone to my computer, well on my computer i couldn't hear the audio at all. Since on my computer I'm not the addmin., i decided i'd try limewire to find an audio fixer. So i fould one, started to download that, and my virus scanner blocked it(Virus scanner's name is Webroot Antivirus with AntiSpyware) Well, after closing out of the audio fixer and giving my computer a virus scan (in which it found 6 viruses) I keep on getting all these popups. The popups are originated from CiD.



Here's one of the popups i'm getting:

I've been getting popups like every five minutes and I'd really like to get them to go away. Is there anyway that i can put a blocker on CiD with my virus scanner? I have popup blockers on my computer just as a little extra information.



Thanks!



Computer pop up problems.?liveupdate



Pop-ups dont come from viruses



Its spyware did you scan with your Anti-Spyware?



Its probably a separate program than your anti-virus, I dont think it scans for both at once



To the people above me she clearly stated she already had an Anti-spyware



"Webroot Antivirus _with AntiSpyware_"

Annoying viruses?

my laptop has this trojan horse dropper.agent.9.AA how do i take this off? i have a free edition avg anti-virus, i also have a windows defender, and norton internet security, is that enough to protect my laptop from annoying virus and spyware? what else is out there that i can download for free and at the same time good antivirus and antispyware? can you give me some sites where i can download anti-virus and anti-spyware for free? thanks



Annoying viruses?malware



Ok first thing, remove one of the anti virus you have. Either Norton or AVG. Never use 2 anti virus as they will conflict with each other.



TrojanDropper is designed to infiltrate your computer and open a conduit by which large amounts of adware and spyware can be piped to your system. TrojanDropper opens up a large security hole on your computer and is a very dangerous threat to the security of your personal and financial data. The additional adware downloaded through TrojanDropper will also generate large numbers of popup adverts.



I would suggest using this free to remove it.



http://www.superantispyware.com



It does a lot deeper scan than most.



Annoying viruses?norton 360



First thing, get rid of norton and either AVG or windows defender. Having multiple antiviruses running simultaneously will cause your system to be unstable, not to mention eat up unnecessary resources.



Nothing can protect you like knowing what you're doing. There is no one-hit-wonder software.



BTW, norton is bloatware. It does the job but requires a lot of unnecessary resources to do it.
GET RID OF NORTON!!!!!!!!



Also install SAS (http://www.superantispyware.com/download...



AVG should find the virus
