I'm not that smart when it comes to computers, i have windows 2000 can anybody suggest a good virus protector for me. also i know you get what you pay for but is there anything cheaper then $59.99-$79.99 range? thanks.

 

AVG Free! Google it And you can also get Ad-aware, its an anti-spyware, they are both free

 

Eset NOD-32

The best antivirus solution I've ever used & I've used a bunch.

 

Norton anti virus works well enough

 

i hate norton and i had a problem with Avg find a virus but not being able to delete it..
Now i use Webroot spy sweeper.

 

My two weapons of choice.
I use AVG (paid version) 7.5 and Webroots SpySweeper.

I cleaned up my son's stepdad's Dell laptop Saturday, AVG caught 21 viruses, and SpySweeper took off 71 traces of spyware/malware.

Never had a problem with either app.

 

I have been using Panda for a couple of years now, both on my computer and my wife's. Good program

 

I found Panda (although good protection) to be a system resource hog...worse than Norton even & I think Norton is a virus itself!

Anyone who has never used NOD-32 should really give it a shot, even if you overlook the fact that it's one of the only AV programs to have never missed an "in the wild" virus in virus bulletin testing; you still have to love the fact that you barely even notice it's there which a real plus for people with slower systems.

 

I HATE norton, dont like avg... i use Avast, its free, and it hardly uses any system resources. Ive been using it for a couple years now, never one virus.
