I have AVG but the 30 day trial is over, is their somewhere where i can download a free version, if their is plz post link, and if not what would u recommend as the best software thats not AVG.
check out some of these anti-virus and anti-spyware software programs along with a couple other recommended programs:
- McAfee 12 in 1 Security Center (anti-virus)
- Spyware Doctor with AV (anti-spyware) or Spybot S&D if you want a free program
- PC Tools Firewall Plus(free) (firewall)
- ThreatFire(free) (added virus protection)
- CCleaner(keep computer running pretty good, cleans up history and whatnot)
- Firefox(safe browser)
All of the above programs(aside Spybot) I use and have been using for a very long time now, all with fantastic results. For AVG and Spybot they are both good in the way of free protection but McAfee and Spyware Doctor are recommended.
Does anyone know of free and effective anti-virus internet protection software?

Norton360.
It works wonders. Alerts you of any tiny threat and fixes little ones automatically. And if you have a problem you can live chat and they fix it.
I bought it at my local Staples.
