Hi, friends....I used some free antivirus on my computer ,until now I tried Avira, Kaspersky , Nod32, and AVG ,however I was not that pleased with them. Do you happen to know better free antivirus softwares than those ? Which one ? What do you use on your computer ? Do you usually buy your antivirus or download it for free ?

sorry, musicfen - the freebies are good, but they are not all-encompassing - you really should have a good paid software that takes care of adware, malware, viruses and the like. in our internet service, we support norton antivirus and norton internet security. we also recommend spybot search and destroy, AVG, and adaware - 3 free programs that will get you by for a time. do you make sure to remove the one you are not using before or shortly after you install the new one you are trying? sometimes having more than one of the same type can make it SEEM like your computer is viral, if they are interfering with one another.

thank you ,redfeather , I am considering now to buy an antivirus in the future -I recognize I never bought one -and I wonder which one would be better, cause for sure I would not afford to change it that often. For how many years is an antivirus very good ? I mean the best on the market ?

hi musicfen, my computer is in a big virus problem but i can't avoid that problem, the first reason is that i don't like to use antivirus, the second thing is there are a lot of viruses in my computer that antiviruses can't disharm, i tired all of the antiviruses you mentioned above, all are fakes except one, kaspersky, my friends told me that its the best antivirus ever created, but i don't like it in a way that it screams when it detects something bad, the screaming thing makes me really terrouble, try it again to make sure its best or not, happy mylotting!!
