archram Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Not sure if this is the right place but it looked most likely! I need to renew my computer protection. There appear to be quite a few free ones. Being of a generation that was taught 'you never get something for nothing' I wondered if anyone knew whether the free ones were any good. I have a laptop just for my use. I thought if I could get a cheap one it would fund an extra trip to PP!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archram Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 Crikey, you lot are quick!! Many thanks for responses - I'd done a search and found several free ones. Being an elderly female, I don't understand these new-fangled things but knew some of you wise beings on here would advise me! And I was right - as always!

Hartley Hare Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 For antivirus, try Microsoft Security Essentials :- http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/default.aspx?mkt=en-gb Or Avira :- http://www.avira.com/en/avira-free-antivirus For dedicated spyware/malware detection/protection, try SuperAntiSpyware :- http://www.superantispyware.com/ All free, all generally well regarded.
