Morning everyone, bit miserable and grey looking here. Waiting for the magic phone call from "The manager that doesnt speak to customers" in a certain electrical store to tell me I can collect my new laptop;) Then will nip into the T's opposite for a quick look.
I know someone will know the answer to this cos you're all so clever. How and whats the best, free, virus control I can download for my new lappie or should I just buy one? I've always been a bit scared to download one in case it doesnt work, but I trust you lot to give me the right advice;)

AVG or Avast

I'm too [STRIKE]tight[/STRIKE] money saving, to pay.

I use Avast for anti virus; zone alarm (free version) for my firewall and a couple of the free anti spyware programmes. Plus Burn4free (DVD) tools.

These people helped me build my first pc a few years ago and I have stuck with them, coz they know a lot:D There are some free software links on this thread.
