Well, theres not really much protection on this new laptop that we bought, the free Norton trial just ran out. So what are y'all running for anti-spyware programs and stuff, I need to install something on this computer, Help!
preferably free, and linkies to download the stuff, thanks guys
Avast! free edition or AVG has worked well for me in the past
I have AVG Free 8.5, Spybot-search and destroy, and spyware blaster. The latter two I got from my mom's friend who had a computer repair shop and he didn't charge me for any of it so I don't know what their cost would be.
The AVG is what I use on a daily basis, I hardly use the others unless I am having major issues with my computer.
Hope this helps! :thumbs:
I love AVG. Been using it for coming on close to 8ish years.
Get the free version 8)

AVG and AdAware FTW! :clap:
Symantec Endpoint on vista/7. Avast on win xp, spybot S&D on xp only. If I ever get a virus on vista/7 I will put malwarebytes on it.
all of the recommendations are fine, except "Spyware blaster"
total useless POS Resource hog!
the rest are fine
fwiw, I would say
Avast over AVG (easier to use) and IMO more effective
Adaware and Spybot used to be the cats ass
now.. not so much
I would say Superantispyeare and Malwarebytes are better
Just My 2 cents
anti-funyun
just show him boobz and he'll run.
