Hi Guys,

Im looking to download anti-virus software and i dont know which one to download and where from?

Can anyone give me some advice?

I surf the net about 3 hours per week just visiting regular sites like FB and hotmail.

Thanks

You can find several good choices to use in the Freeware Replacements For Common Commercial Apps topic.
Try out a few, and see which one works the best for you.
Just remember; only have one real-time antivirus running, at a time, as multiple AVs could cause conflicts.

Personally, I use Avira Antivir.

There a ton of choices out there. Personally i would upgrade to windows 7 first... You will have better performance and safer surfing. On my home clients i usual install AVG with Malwarebytes. Business it dpends on them :thumbsup:

Happy hunting!
