Hello

Can anyone recommend free downloadable anti-virus, anti advert, anti trojan
software please.

I do have Norton, and its updated regularly, but I read so many horror
stories I would like to run other progs as well to be doubly sure.

Thanks

I like NOD32 Antivirus but it costs $39.95. For free antivirus, I like
Avast.

For Vista, I usually just leave on Windows Defender and let it do its thing
although in general I prefer not to have stuff like this running in the
background. For XP, I like Malwarebytes' Anti-malware program. There is a
free version which runs on demand.

The best anti-malware protection is an educated user.

AVG is FREE and one of the best I have found. I don't even use Norton's
anymore.

Sometimes running two at the same time, even though different, can cause
issues too.
