Re: Mac-out of context (Computer Protection)

[Guest guest]

I use AVG Antivirus. It's as good as any of the more popular ones if not better:

I also use Spybot to check and clean my computer from any spyware or malware

that isn't caught by most antivirus programs.

but you don't have to.)

I also use Ad-aware in conjunction with Spybot for double protection. Some

spyware programs will miss some infections that others won't. It's always best

to have two.

For a third layer of protection I use Spyware Guard to help prevent the spyware

and malware from being put on my machine in the first place.

Lastly, a good firewall is very beneficial. Here is a very good one that's free.

All of these programs have been referred to me by professional tech support

teams and I trust the programs effectiveness on protecting your computer.

was it you that told me you had a virus protection that

you did not have to buy but got off the internet. If it was,

could you tell me what it was again? I would really appreciate

it. We cannot afford those other ones...they surely are getting

crazy in price, now. The one seemed to run constantly and slowed

our computer down more and was constantly downloading things.

One thing I forgot to mention is it's always good to go to Microsoft Updates and

make sure you have all the latest security patches on your computer.

Also on a side note, make sure you don't end up running two antivirus programs

at the same time. This will cause conflicts between the two programs and you may

end up not removing anything if it does detect a virus.

It is ok to run more than one spyware program though.
