Where can I find free anti-virus and anti-spyware software for my computer?

Ok, you are going to want numerous anti-spyware programs, one anti-virus, and one firewall. All of the following programs are free.

You can find a good, free reliable anti-virus program from AVG:

AVG anti-virus:http://free.grisoft.com/doc/5390/us/frt/...

You can find good anti-spyware programs from:

AVG anti-spyware:http://free.grisoft.com/doc/5390/us/frt/...

Spybot S%26D:http://www.safer-networking.org/en/downl...

Ad Aware:http://www.lavasoftusa.com/

You will want more than one anti-spyware program. You do NOT want more than one anti-virus program because they will conflict with each-other.

Now, lets get you a firewall.

Choose ONE of these programs to use.

Outpost firewall: http://www.agnitum.com/products/outpostf...

Jetico firewall: http://www.jetico.com/index.htm#/jpfirew...

Zone Alarm: http://www.zonealarm.com/store/content/c...

After you have installed one anti-virus program, numerous anti-spyware programs, and one firewall, you should be protected.

Did I mention that all of these programs I just listed are FREE?

If you suspect that you have spyware/viruses on your computer you should restart your computer and press f8, then boot up in safe mode with networking and run your anti-virus program and delete all of the viruses. Then run each one of your anti-spyware programs and delete all of the spyware. Then restart and boot up in your normal mode. Use a program called Ccleaner to clean out your registry: http://www.ccleaner.com/
