My computer was sick

There are several good free anti-virus spyware and firewalls out there for personal computers. If you can't afford them and don't want to spend the money on expensive security, then please use the free ones. There are just too many threats to our computers out there today!

You should not respond or open mail of unknown person or unknown orgnisations then you can keep your computer clean.You must know there are some guyes who try to spread coputer virus. They feel joy by felling others in trouble.We must be aware of these notorious guyes. One of my friends help me to keep my computer clean. It is not so expensive.See you again.

the best way to avoid the spyware or any virus is by using original antivirus.i dont think it is that expensive.it could be purchase for a few bucks.i personally using kaspersky internet security and i admit it is quiet satisfaction.it really help me preventing from any virus affection.to assist the antivirus i also used tune up utilities.there so much thing could be done using the program.try it.it could give you satisfaction as what i enjoyed.

Yes I have found that the moret I surf the web the more junk I get attached to my computer. We have Zone and it runs every two or three days and always finds things. My feeling is the reason I have a computer is to access the internet so I need good security to maintain my machine.

I'm currently using Spybot Search & Destroy (which is truly a blessing! and free too!!!) for clearing out spywares, and Norton for viruses.. I'm trying to find a replacement for this stupid norton though, it uses up waaay too much memory capacity (making the computer run too slow while scanning, and makes start up/shut down way too long), and most of the virus threats that pop out it can't really do anything about them and I have to do everything myself manually! What a useless piece of scrap -w- anyone can recommend a good (and free) antivirus? o.o

I use 1)AVG 8 for anti-virus scans. Fantastic software. Never had a virus since I started using it. The previous McAffee was not so good and used to slow down the PC:/ www.grisoft.com 2)Spybot S&D for anti-spyware/malware scans. Free and excellent. www.safer-networking.org/index2.html 3)Opera for browsing. Faster, more customizable, and more secure than internet explorer. www.opera.com 4) Diskeeper 2008 for disk defragmenting. Keeps the files on the hard drive nicely defragmented and disk performance at it's optimum. All automatically and in the background! Awesome defragmenter. www.diskeeper.com

From what you said, your computer is really sick. It’s good that you called someone to have it fix. It’s hard to maintain a computer much more to repair it. I always scan my computer for viruses and bugs. It is much better to caught it early before it can affect files on my computer. I also update my anti virus software. It is advisable to always update virus software to be protect for new threats. Using internet often can get your computer a virus. Transferring of files from one computer to another spread the virus. Always scan the flash disk, floppy disk or cd before you open it.
