    Hola~

    :slight_smile: I was wondering which anti-virus do you recommend using? I want one that is FREE and not bothersome. And one that works. Thanks!

    Ps. Wasn't sure where this belonged.

    AVG is free antivirus & pretty good
    for spyware, spybot search n destroy catches most but its not perfect.

    Some people sat that AVG Avast is good .It's free and good.

    My computer tech guy uses it himself.

    Other people here are more knowledgeable about these things than me.

    LOL (*hug*) that was sorta awesome. XD

    But on topic, there are tons of free anti-virus softwares and stuff. Just have to look, if you find the thread about the Conficker virus that was around here a bit ago, there are tons of Anti-virus suggestions.

    I use Avast. It's really good (and free). The only thing is that you must scan your computer yourself. It does everything else for you though.
    I hear BKAV is also very good. It's from Viet Nam so the site is not fully translated into English. They've actually been able to make their product remove the Conficker worm that's been plaguing the world lately.
    Macs and Linux are for the most part virus-free, but it's still good to be safe.

    actually it's called Linux :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: much better and free :grin:
    and, because us linux-folk are nice, there's even a version of avg to scan files for viruses that might affect other people :slight_smile:

    so yeh, on topic, go AVG Free (or linux.... I haven't mentioned a virus for about 4 years lol)

    I recomend 2 Anti-Virus..

    Kaspersky (Paid) - Best virus search engine..
    Nod32 ("Paid") - Best Virus Database...

    If you wonder how the Nod32 is ""Paid"" msg me

    If you dont want to Pay or "Pay" for this stuff try AVG, its the best you can get for free

    Edit: The Nod32, also is very light on your system, it uses considerably less Memory (Ram) and Cpu capacity, letting you play games and other stuff easier
