Go for Avast or AVG free anti virus software. Both get pretty good reviews, and are free!

There's a good reason why it's free. For the sake of a small payment per year it's worth paying for. Using the free one's really is a mugs game.

Saying that though, if any has been using the free one's or not using any at all and would like me to sort their problems out for them, please give me a shout. I'm very reasonable. :lol:

If you bank with Barclays and use Online Banking you can download Kaspersky Anti Virus off their site for free. They then e.mail an activation code to you. :old: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

To have NO security is potentially very dangerous. If you don't have too much to protect, then AVG Free is pretty good and affords safe but minimal level of protection.

Microsoft do a free download that has won prizes. Try this link:

I'd advise anyone now..FREE download AVAST.. its more up to date and does more
than AVG (which was pretty damn good)

As for buying one? Norton is the biggest seller and its shite. Its notorious for
letting things slip past and slows everything else down
