   Also Consider Installing A Firewall.

   You should get a Internet Security Suite. It will cover all your needs. Anti-virus, anti-spyware, and a firewall. Kaspersky Internet Security or Norton Internet Security are good picks. If you go with Kaspersky you should also get WOT (web of Trust) That way you will know if a site has a bad rating and can stay off of it. Norton has a web rating tool. You should understand this, many users who post here everyday have good security programs and still get infected. You need to take some care when on the internet. Don't click on pop ups, don't keep going to bad web sites, Only download from trusted sites. Don't and this is a big Don't. Don't use P2P file sharing. What many users don't understand is, it's not what security software you have, it's about using your head. If you really want to keep your computer malware free, spend 20 minutes learning how malware gets on a computer. Then you will know how to protect your computer.

   I would suggest AVG 8.0 Free Edition. Although it is free, it has powerful detection system-include Anti-Virus, Anti-Spyware, E-Mail Scanner, Link Scanner and Resident Shield. It is just like an all in one pack which provides full protection for free. A new system tool, the Anti-Hacker will be installed for AVG Internet Security which only costs a little. Most of all, this pack does not slow down the computer. It even check websites link before you can even click it and inform whether that website contains any viruses or spywares. Suspected websites will have an X sign beside it. Besides, installing it will automatically install the AVG toolbar where you can easily search results which are totally safer than other search engines.

   In Your Service,
   Richard
