Thanks Diz

I use Avast for nowt.

AVG

AVG

Avast.

Avg.

Or comodo.

MSE! Better than AVG and Avast probably.

Finally got around to installing some AV on this laptop after owning it for a year. Should be interesting to see how many things it picks up on – scan under way now…

AVG installed 12783 items found. Many thanks looks like its never had any security on from day one.

Besides the AV advice, I wouldn’t use a loan laptop for internet shopping or banking.

Check this website for security apps reviews: http://www.anti-malware-test.com/

Notwithstanding, I use MSE, AVG, AdAware, Spybot Search & Destroy, and finally Spyware Blaster. All free.

There’s more than one AV in there – only using one at a time is very important, or you’ll pole-axe OS performance.

I’ll add my usual evangelizing – the ultimate answer is to get rid of windows and use a decent OS , Mac or linux.

ubuntu

depends on the OS. If it’s windows 7 use the onboard microsoft security.

Swapped from avg to mse after it missed a malware virus.

I go out for an evening and good god, where to begin…
