Internet Security..

is der any free internet security??!

Seriously, though..I imagine you're looking for a software firewall? Try ZoneAlarm..

download Avast!

Just google freeware...im sure there will be plenty of starter trials there...

Avast! is proven as reliable software. it is on par with AVG, but AVG is going paid only.

www.extremeoverclocking.com forum members recommend it as a free piece of software. half of the IT staff at work use it at home because it's not a resource hog like Norton, but it's just as good. it updates weekly - more frequently than Symantec's business version. i've been using it for the past few years on all my computers, and it has never corrupted on me...and i've never had a virus. i run the Trend Micro online scan every once in awhile to keep Avast! in check, and it never finds anything.

did it really get to be that bad? when i had it a few years ago it wasn't bad...it just didn't have a really likeable interface.

I used to use AVG too...using Avast now; no complaints.

i'm using avg now..but if avast is better ..man, i'm switching

so...antivir is that good huh. might try that one

^^I thought norton would be lower than that...I had it on our old computer and it was a nuisance more than it helped...Im not surprised with where mcafee is tho...

thnx

just download anything you want

Get a hardware firewall. They are built in to most routers now days.

man..the antivir is pretty good. i'm suprised...i have spyware doctor, ad-aware, windows defender, avg and even norton. i usually scan my pc but when i scanned with antivir...found some trojans...

which one?? here?? http://www.avast.com/eng/programs.html

the one i used? it's called antivir...try searching it

yes, that's the one i use.

hmm, I have AVG now but I didn't think it was that useless. I'll have to give Avast a try.

I installed anti-vir and for the first time in 2 years, my computer f4roze up. Everytime it loaded it completely slowed down my computer. I got so frustrated that I uninstalled it. I even gave it a 2nd chance thinking I did something wrong at first but nope...still froze up my computer.

??? strange...is it a old pc? how fast is it? might even mean taht u have some trojans if it freezes ur pc..

the pc is only 2 years old. I have Windows XP on it, AMD 1.99GHz. I don't think its a trojan cause it'll give me errors when updating. I even did the manual update and it still slows my computer down. I'm wondering if it has to do with having another antivirus software installed. when I close a specific part of the software the computer will run fine. I'm gonna give it one more shot, but if it happens again, then so be it.

yes, it's because you have more than one piece of antivirus software installed. download one piece of software, disconnect it from the 'net, uninstall old software, install new software.

Actually, I installed it again. I know what I did wrong. I did the custom install and decided not to install Guard. This time I installed it and it works perfect. No lag time and no freezing. I even updated the software with no problem.

So I'll keep it installed and use it more often.

I use NOD32 from eset. Look it up here...http://www.eset.com/

I've been running it for two years now with absoluetly no complaints. I love it. I runs in the background and has caught every trojan, virus, malicious code, etc, that I've been stupid enought to let through.

Run Windows Vista

on a 2-year-old computer? are you out of your mind?

The home basic version of Vista will run fine on my pc. If you go to the microsoft website they have a program that runs a check on your computer to see if its okay to install Vista. It'll even find hardware and software that are compatible with it. Unfortunately, alot of my software isn't supported...but my hardware is which means I can run Vista if I don't mind losing all that software, if there isn't an update for it.
