Free protection online

Hi guys,
I'm looking to download some sort of free software to protect my laptop from viruses etc. Can anyone please recommend anything?
I keep getting a pop up saying I need to do something about internet security, but I always click remind me in 1 day. I have a thing that does a full system scan every so often, is this adequate? (I think this is norton internet security)
It would be a great help if anyone can push me into the right direction, as I don't have a clue what I'm doing
Thanks xx

Have a look at http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/shopping/free-anti-virus-software
I recommend Comodo as a firewall and Antivir for antivirus[SIZE=-1]te audire non possum. musa sapientum fixa est in aure.[/SIZE]0 -
So I need to download something for the firewall and for anti-virus.
I think my norton internet security has ran out
Should I delete the norton and get onto downloading something else straight away?0 -

Download your chosen new programs and then remove Norton with the removal tool here before trying to install a replacement.:doh: Blue text on this forum usually signifies hyperlinks, so click on them!..:wall:0 -
hi if you are just a normal pc surfer you will be fine with a free antivirus plus a free firewall ...........so goto www.filehippo.com and download AVG ANTIVIRUS (FREE) & COMODO FIREWALL (FREE) save the downloads to desktop once you done that go here http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT...05033108162039 disconnect from internet once on that page and remove your version of norton reboot pc then once you done all that double click on your antivirus once installed do the same with the firewallCan't sleep, quit counting sheep and talk directly to the shepherd :cool:0
