Safeguarding your computer! How secure your computer is?

For years, I have used free anti virus and spyware programs, and all do reasonably well. Avast 5, Malwarebytes, Spybot, Hijack This, Superantispyware, Spyblaster, and sometimes the new MSE (Microsoft Security essentials. I do weekly quick scans, and a monthly full scan. Also use a free firewall (for XP) called private firewall 7.

...if you really have important files on your computer necessary for your business, works or jobs, then i believe it would be best to buy an anti-virus software rather than settling down on free-software..im not sure if it is true, but i think, free software have their limitations and may have some weak points when there are threats attack..but for personal use only, you can avail the free anti-virus software on your computer...

I think that will be okay for you to use free antivirus program for personal use only. Remember that free antivirus usually only gives you ability to scan, delete, or protect your PC real-time. It does not have additional function such as e-mail cleaner or spyware protector. If you want to use free antivirus I do recommend Antivir Personal Edition. That's the best (in my opinion) so far. As for me; I never bother installing any protection software for my business PC, because I have already installed Deep Freeze, so everytime the computer shuts down, no matter how damage the software inside, it will always return to the previous state. I save all documents on my secure server.

I have used Eset NOD32 antivirus.. it is free versions.. and always caught many threats which is harmful for my PC.. i used it from last 8 months.. it is only 30 days trial version.. but every month i uninstall this and again install this to on computers.. then it will be renew for next 3o days.. and always updated through internet.. but now i want to test another antivirus.. but problem is that my computers RAM are only 256 MB and mostly good antivirus recommended for 512 MB RAM..

Iam using avg antivirus 9.0 free edition it is easy use and free daily updates so i am using this from 6 months before. i liked it very much we have daily updates then no more worry about viruses effecting. i think u also use avg antivirus because it is the best for free users.
