Avast or AVG is what i use, both free antivirus and very good. commodo firewall works well withthem also.

Sensation is diminished somewhat but he should still be able to maintain a firm connection.

Yes he will probably find it in the router's underpants.

I've used AVG, Zone Alarm, SUPERAntiSpyware and CCleaner, all free, for years now and dare I say, have had no issues.

Uninstall it and install the free edition of Avira.

Use the free Internet security from the Microsoft website... It's free forever, picked up Trojans when I've downloaded stuff and as its made by Microsoft it doesn't constantly battle with windows for resources... Best by far IMO

Sounds like you downloaded trial version of the full avg, uninstall, google search free avg download, and download free version not paid version.

I installed K9 on my daughter's lappy and you can block access to any site you want (it has all the usual adult blocks etc in place by default) but you can also set it to block internet access entirely between whatever hours suits you.

The best thing is it's free.

Just so you know.

Anything that has FREE on its label has malware/spyware in the files you download.

Dont trust stuff like that, get BitDefender or Panda.

Maybe i can ask the bloke that keeps ringing my mum up and saying her computer is sending him messages saying there's something drasticley wrong with it......

She starts to panic saying "oh my god what shall i do?"

He woffuls on a bit more....

she says "well you have me really worried now"

He says"well you should be madam"

She then pipes up.... "well you see i don't have a computer"

He rings every night

Avast is a good one, have it installed on several pieces of equipment. installed the free one and when you register for each year you can use whatever email address you like to remain anonymous x

Not necessarily so. Some are legit. Just download from reputable sources if you're using Windows or Mac, such as CNet or Tucows. Linux users don't have to worry cause they can just use their distro's repository

... and if you use a Google Chromebook then you never have to worry about any of this.

Seriously tempted to get the ultra-thin Chromebook.

Totally incorrect.

Some Of the best software available is freeware or shareware.

As said before, just be careful where you download from mainly, and generally say no if it tries to install a toolbar or search assistant etc..

Another vote for Microsoft Security Essentials.

Also Malwarebytes and CCleaner and your PC will be running like a dream.
