Hi drbubbles24,

You want to make sure you’re using an anti-virus program that will work well with your OS, so Microsoft actually put up some information to help you choose a program that will work with whichever Microsoft OS you have.

Check it out here:.

The best protection for your computer is installing an internet security program. I tested several and found ESET Smart Securisty the best.

You can however protect your computer very well with free programs. I would not rely on just one program. Install a couple of programs that work very well together.
Here is a suggestion for you

Anti virus and firewall pro

in combination with

Threatfire is an anti virus, that can be installed next to any other anti virus program on the same computer

This is a very good program, that completely runs in the background

My preference goes with AVG too. If all you need is anti-virus and definition updates, their free version is perfect. I use it on any/all Windows machines I repair.

You can download it directly from their site, to be sure you get a clean copy.

note: as you go through the screens to download it, they will try to sale you the full version, so just be sure to click the links for free AVG.

I use AVG Free, the download is in my source. It’s pretty lightweight.
