I am wondering what safe, and free security software can be downloaded to my computer. I have Windows Vista, and it came with McAfee. The subscription has expired, and it costs a lot of money to renew it. There was an article in my local newspaper that said a few free ones. But of course, I lost that news paper. Right now the only security thing that I have on my computer is McAfee SiteAdvisor, which actually works pretty good. But I would like something else on here too. Any ideas??? Best Answer if I can get a good one that doesnt give me any viruses!!
Free security software?agv
get hold of avira for viruses
zonealarm for a firewall
and spybot and adaware for spyware.
Free security software?antivirus software
Go to talkgeek.org and go to applications and they have tons of free software, a program you could use is AVG free, i had avast and i hated it personally, i get a virus and VOOOOOVOOOVOOO You have spyware! It sets off a siren every time you get a virus it's annoying
My recommendations for freeware applications are:
firewall: (listed in order of preference)
Comodo (http://www.comodo.com ), or
PC Tools (http://www.pctools.com/firewall )
Comodo recently released version 3.0 of its firewall, which adds an intrusion prevention component that's very effective, though it does take time for it to learn your system, and requires some ongoing attention by the user to make sure programs don't get improperly blocked. Comodo is one of the strongest firewalls available, freeware or commercial, according to the independent testing site matousec.com.
