Anti-Virus

OK people errm i need help here!! Im currently on the internet with no anti-virus/firewall/anti-spyware because the one i currently have installed on my computer muks up my MSN by making it log on and off every minute = =" I currently have Zone Lab which is a freeware anti-virus/firewall/anti-spyware and was wondering if you lots know of any good freeware antivirus/firewall/anti-spyware ^^

 

I use the AOL active virus shield. So far, no problems with any other programs. You get ads in your email from signing up though, so use a spam account or follow links to opt out after the first ad comes.

get it here:

hmm looks good ill give it a try ^^ thank mhat21

 

nod32 is free trial... and if the 30 day trial is past you can just reinstall it

 

Antivirus

AVG <---- also has spyware and rootkits
AntiVir PersonalEdition
Comodo

Spyware

Norman Malware Remover
Ad-aware
Windows Defender
Spybot
Spyware Doctor
Webwasher

Firewall

ZoneAlarm
Ghostwall
Jetico Personal Firewall

Those are freeware, others that are good is spysweeper or mcafee which you need to pay for but can be found at known BT sites

 

doesnt windows has build in firewall? and also ur router has it right?

 

= =" dragonloaded why would you recommend me zonealarm when i have already stated that i am having problems with it -____- lai hai mm mi wang gun ngor ahhh??

N yea it does but its kinda useless against new stuff cos i dont update my windows at all ><

 

^ i got lazy and skimmed read your post and so i didnt see zonelabs that you mentioned and plus those are just my recommendations that i have tried or am currently using that i found are ok

if you want the best protection you should find and use non-freeware programs

 

^but me aint got money = =" might buy norton if i save up enough XP

 

As i mentioned on my previous post the non-freeware can all be found on BT sites like for e.g. torrentspy so you dont have to pay like mcafee which i got off there so you dont have to pay

and im an anti-norton they are the worst <_< , take up so much resources and bound to screw up one way or another

Kasperky is another good antivirus

 

If you do save up money for a virusscanner, buy the McAfee instead of Norton. A paid virusscanner at least will provide you with the newest updates.
(mine's "free" as it's included in the service of the network provider)

 

i use nod32 as well
its nice =)

plus theres cracks/hacks that let u have the 30 day trial turn into a couple hundred thousand days =P

 

^oh?

I read somewhere that commercial antivirus programs like symmantec and mcafee are no good cause hackers aim more of their viruses at them than noncommerical ones...but nod32 is a good one

 

i used mcaffe before and it was rubbish = =" it kept crashing my computer when i was playing games = =" the software itself was prob a virus XP

 

i got AVG free and comodo firewall, both two thumbs up and both free

 

word. dragon and knoc got them on the dot...
