Avast is king.
AVG is decent also.

Don't download anything illegal off the net, IE Cracks, hacks, free games off anything other than (fileplanet,gamershell, moddb) or go to various websites and install plugins.

I use avg (no complains) and Spybot - Search & Destroy, an older version which needs an update by the way...never used ad-aware but lots of people say it's great too.

Check Filehippo for the downloads

I use AVG8 and Super Anti Spyware.
No problems since

AVG Free seems to be the user's choice.

I approve.

Because quite a few of these sites have 'bugged' versions

(as in install it and watch the viruses and crap get through)

always get your security stuff from a reputable source

I use Nod32. You are supposed to pay for it, but it has a trial version which lasts for... a while. Fuck, I can't remember how long. Anyway, once it's up, uninstall and delete, re download, re-install, and you have it for free.

All you need is avast ,spybot ,adaware,mozilla and the noscript plugin and then you can watch as many p0rn as you want.

Btw is there a meaning to the existence of internet without p0rn?

Some might say darkfall is that meaning but darkfall=porn on their eyes,so its the same.

Is there another point to having the internet? Besides porn? Which is equally as likely to fuck up your computer?

If you're rich then get NOD32. Poor = Avast!

AVG Free Edition and Spybot Search and Destroy do me just fine and they're both free, it's a good idea to use a combination of them instead of just one so you have a higher chance of catching those nasty buggers before they embed themselves in your desktop, oh and making a system restore point usually helps save a lot of your downloads and stuff too.

anti vir is pretty good&free as with avg's.

ccleaner might be worth a look aswell.

You don't even have to be rich to have NOD32!
