anti-virus

[ishq]

Hi guys,

can i get some info on some of the good anti-virus programs available that i can download preferably the ones for free?

and can you please enlighten me on what factors does it take for a virus protection program to be an A+ and how to distinguish the trashy ones?

and one more thing, IF i would install a p2p networking software for downloading stuff (limewire, morpheus and the like, which i know is not advisable), is there a possible way that i can fully shield my pc for all the harm p2p can do?

One of the best Internet Security/Anti-Virus programs are Trend Micros Pc-Cillin Internet Security 2005. It cost about $50 and is extreamly reliable.

Yep avg antivirus is xclnt! Zonealarm free edition will do the job. Try Adaware SE rather than spybot.

Sygate firewall is free and a good choice for egress filtering also

AVG + ZoneAlarm + Ad aware  SE personal = full protect
