I think I need anti virus or something where can I get a good anti virus?

[sweetdreamsx3]

I don't know if it gets rid of virus, but I use

www.lavasoft.de I think it's a spyware kinda thing though. *shrugs*

I don't know where but my own father has taken antivruses and pop-up blockers to a big whoop ho. He's a biggie when it comes to computers.

[mizz_mithy]

we use norton virus scan and we have a pop up blocker.

Norton sucks as what my own father said. Haha. well, I believe something above norton is good though.


Also, moved to tech.

[Retrogressive]

sorry I just put it in lounge.... anyway, I need something free and easy and reliable!

[*Kathleen*]

Hmm I have this thing called Naviscope. It blocks a lot. I mean a lot. I don't know where my dad got it, though.

[dromero986]

what i use...

ad-aware
spybot S&D
avast! home edition

all three are totally FREE!!! and in my opinion very good.
for avast! (antivirus) you have to go to their site for a registration key, but it's still totally free.

also, i don't know but i'm guessing you use Internet Explorer. well, i use avant browser and i must say it's REALLY good. it uses IE, but has additional features like popup blocker, ad blocker, tabbed windows. really nice looking too

[MasterNe0]

their are alot of free antivirus programs out their. If you want a antivirus program that is always on, get Norton Antivirus.

and get SPYBOT and ADWARE To get rid of advertisment stuff that could be on your comp

to get rid of POP UP ADS, I use STOPzilla which can be found on kazaa (be careful, their are virus verison out their)

[shawty_redd]

i use norton and its not bad

[dromero986]

to get rid of POP UP ADS, I use STOPzilla which can be found on kazaa (be careful, their are virus verison out their)

STOPzilla can be found on download.com

[abercrombiekid]

use ADWARE PERSONAL SE to kill

[Levy2k6]

for popups on IE i use the google toolbar... best IE addon thing.

and AOl has its own pop up blocker which is cool.

[litt0jadey]

Eh whever i get a virus i reformat, i dont get them often

[Just_Dream]

My friend tried to help me d/l this one anti-virus, but then again, it always closed on me.. damn that virus! Bleh this was back in january when my comp crashed a few days after he gave me the link and I tried to install the thing.. I got the link way too late because the virus already infected my comp but yea..

it's called AVG

For Pop-Ups, just stick with a Mozilla Firefox browser..obviously the better choice over IE. But..for IE, I use "Pop-up Manager"...it's blocked over 7000 pop-ups for me successfully, I'm glad :D.

For viruses, I use "Ad-Aware", "Spyware: S&D", "Spyware Blaster", and "Spysweeper".

For viruses that just can't get killed, I use "Killbox" which basically deletes anything that wont delete ...yea.

Also...I do occasional check-ups with "Bazooka Scanner"...great software also. If none of em can catch that one virus I'm tryin to get rid of, I use "HiJack-This", another fine software.

Yea...the Internet is a very dangerous place

^^^ lmao...
i use google'z popup blocker. worx for me

[Levy2k6]

man ya really protective of ya's passwords..

my way to get no viruses is.... don't go on those websites.. lol.

and TeaTimer, good program that comes with Spyboy S&D.

[FireCrossedAngel]

Get Norton Internet Security! It has Norton Anti-virus in it, which is pretty good compared to the others, firewall, Adblocking that is EXTREMELY awesome (it blocks like everything, lol.) And plus it also comes with all this other great stuff) I highly recommend it! And Norton Anti-Virus automatically scans your files when you download or install something. So if you go to a website that gives a virus, lets say, it instantly removes it and tells you. I luv it ^_^ Very very handy to have.

But you can also try STOPzilla--its works really well, and for free virus and security scans you can go here. It doesnt remove them though You can just download a free trial of Norton Antivirus or if not then BullGuard AntiVirus.

So just buy Norton Internet Security, it'll be worth it, I'm telling you

[magnificentmike]

i have norton antivirus, but most popups and ads arent because of virus theres these things called spyware and adware and those usually are the main cause of popups i suggest ad-aware 6.0 and that takes away most. and then if theres still popups i would get a toolbar that has a popup blocker (im using the yahoo companion) and it even has a anti-spy and that also took away alot of spyware from my computer

[aznriceboi]

use norton internet sercurity its pretty good, has alot of features

[SNAP_Tornado]

mcaffee or soemthin like that is good for viruses
