The first thing to get is a good free ant-virus program. I like these listed here. among others. I trust these.

As far as free Anti virus programs go, these are some of the best ones that I have used.
I use Avast on my own computer.

I like this one, just because it is easy to use and is fairly fast.

It’s really important to protect your computer with Anti Virus.

So you mine as well do it for Free! I do and I like it!

Most people on the computer
don’t mean to
become pirates. They just want to try a program out first. I’m talking
about with no restrictions or limitations; sometimes they only use the
program a few times a month. Better safe when spending potentially
hundreds of dollars.

You don’t have to break the
law to get the soft ware that you need! Read on to find out how.

You need at least 10 gigs
free on hard drive; to install Ubuntu, a Linux base Operating system.

Ubuntu has soft
ware repositories on the Internet
, they are connected to
the add and remove programs interface in the menu. Just
type the name of the program that you want into the search field and
bingo
, you get a list of soft ware to pick from.

You can get rid of them just
as easy. All you have to do is un-check the box next to the un-wanted
program.

I can’t believe all the free
soft ware on the Linux based Operating system; including the Operating
system! You should be able to find anything that you can
imagine, I mean anything!

So give it a
try  ( this way you don’t have to be a pirate )
and let me know what you think.

Anti Spy ware programs for free

As far as free Anti Spy ware programs go; these are a few of the best free ones that I have used. Every body likes Spybot search and destroy. It’s an all time favorite! SpybotsHome page.

Another really good one that I use all the time is; AdAware Personal SE.

Microsoft’s Windows Defender is a free program that helps protect your computer against pop-ups, slow performance, and security threats caused by spyware and other unwanted software. It features Real-Time Protection and a monitoring system that recommends actions against spyware when it’s found.

Mal Ware is another kind of “nasty”, it likes to screw up things on you’re machine. Other wise known as or called Trojans. These like to down load things into temporary folders, and any other directory it chooses; things like .dlls and installers.Down loaders will down load on every boot. The installers will install on every boot. Thats why you will see the same things show up, scan after scan. Even after you have removed them. Try this one out for piece of mind.

I guess the bottom line is that you need more than one scanner. Just don’t run them at the same time. It’s fun to see what you can catch after a trip around the Internet.

Have fun and stay safe. Stop on by the Geek site
