RE: Computer help
I can't recommend free software, but IMHO the best commercial av program is Computer Associates e-Trust Anti Virus. It is around $30, but the license allows you to protect 3 computers. It is what we use in the office machines, and we've never had a problem. The only time we did was on a laptop that the av had expired.
http://www.ca.com or http://www.my-etrust.com.

Remember, you get what you pay for....

RE: Computer help
Tuffy

I have been using Avast for quite some time now with no problems. You shouldn't have to pay for a program
Use
Avast for your antivirus (register every 15 months)
SpywareBlaster for your spyware (free version, u run it and update as u use it)

Both for free and they use minimal resources so as not to slow your computer down

Hope this helps

In addition if you were to use FireFox as your browser instead of IE you may cut down on your viruses and spyware potential

RE: Computer help
I have always used Norton Antivirus and have had good luck. You can download a free trial but only good for 15 days, then you have to buy it to continue use. Here is the link.

RE: Computer help
Tuffy, first I say why do you need it?

Second, if your on AOL they offer the program for Free... Simply go to Downlaods.

If you are running Windows you definitely need an Antivirus program. If you have an Apple computer then being without an antivirus program is OK
