Free computer security? topic posted Tue, December 2, 2008 - 12:56 PM by paul

Anyone have any advice for free programs to protect my PC?

I have heard of Black Ice, SpyBot, VirusScan, and AVG.

But I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing. Is it worth paying for a security system like McAfee (which I've had for the past 2 yrs)? If so, what's the best one to go with?

Any advice is appreciated! Thanks.

Avast is an excellent anti-virus and ZoneAlarm is a solid firewall application. Both have excellent free versions and are available from www.majorgeeks.com
