brixtonian

Hi !
Could any of you recommend a free antivirus for a laptop to download? Mine is expiring soon and i heard that there are some available on line.. does any of you know a reliable site?
Thanks!

AVG is definately one of the best free ones

I've got AVG on desktop and laptop (2 desktops and 3 laptops!) - hasn't let me down yet!

Interestingly, someone asked me to sort out a laptop that had Nortons 360 (I think that was the one) on it but still had a virus, I downloaded AVG onto a disc, took off Norton's (yes - all of it!) and loaded AVG, it captured the virus in no time flat!

I also use avast and love it. They have a free antivirus, plus a free virus cleaner to download and run if you think your computer's already infected.

I use AVG 8.0 from filehippo.com

Don't forget a firewall and a couple of antispyware/malware progs.

CCleaner is good for getting rid of some unused files
