Yahoo Anti Spyware, for me works great but you have to download the yahoo toolbar with it through but its worth it for me

 

[ProShooter]

is Ad-Adware 2007 good? (im using a laptop)
Also ive been using AVG for quite a while and every days I do a full scan and i feel like I have many virsues or threats although its not detecting anything, it always says 0.

don't worry if you didn't go on any nasty websites, you most likely won't get any viruses.

but for anti spyware I would recommend

Spybot http://www.download.com/Spybot-Search-Destroy/3000-8022_4-10743107.html?tag=toprated

Spyware Blaster
http://www.download.com/SpywareBlaster/3000-8022_4-10486084.html?tag=toprated

or Yahoo AntiSpyware
[For Firefox] http://toolbar.yahoo.com/?.cpdl=cmty


Firefox has a built in Pop up blocker and if you downloaded the Ad Block Plus you won't need Ad-Aware

How can you not like the looks of a Mac o.0
So you chose a toshiba. can't help you then. Me a Mac user 2.

If you had gotten a Mac, you wouldn't have your current problem. No anti-virus programs and such needed for a mac.

..... Yea, dude...viruses crash on their own in Mac and you want be able to take it out besides windows programs better for me. =)

Get firefox and download ad block plus for it, before I do it for you

I myself am using a ADVENT 7109 which is running XP.

AvG is fine but for the best protection buy a retailed one.

Eh...for all you mac lovers....he had a thread on this.. @ Lovewii....did you even use that list of machines I gave you?

also, free ones work just fine.

I'd recommend Avast! or AVG for anti-virus

Zone-Alarm for Firewall

Spybot search and destroy for Anti-spyware

utorrent for downloads

Don't look at porn or roms

CPU-z for system info

Winrar for extracting

Winamp or *gasp* WMP for media. Itunes for windows still sucks.

As mentioned: FF with AB+, noscript

OpenOffice for all business applications

Gimp for graphics

and Quicktime Alternative

I had bitTorrent and download few games from it and i got so many viruses for some reason though my friend told me it was really good and has no viruses on it, and how is Itunes bad for windows? I think it's pretty good... I got AvG and I think I have viruses though AvG aren't catching them... And i have Winrar I love it for extracting zip files...so easy! And what's Gimp?

Yes, I would consider a dictionary extension, it really helps.
