which is the best antivirus which is easy to update from internets and be more secure
with out paying a single penny for updating from internet after paying once for the program which is the best antivirus program
Answer:
The best antivirus on the marker is actually Kaspersky anti-virus.
There has been many important independent organizations testing anti-viruses, and kaspersky has finished first in many categories, you can view the test results at:
http://usa.kaspersky.com/about-us/compar…
And if you want to download kaspersky:

The good point is that this download also contains activation keys, so you can at least use kaspersky free for 1 year or more (depending witch activation key you chose). BUT, IF YOU LIKE THIS SOFTWARE, PLEASE DO CONSIDER TO BUY IT. Their efforts deserve to be rewarded

Many will state AVG, but new V8 is bloated and many functions disabled. Avast correctly setup will self update and monitor in realtime with a higher success rate than AVG….it's also free, you must register before the end of the 60 day trial period. Once you’ve completed the registration you will receive an email with your license key which is valid for one year. Once you have downloaded and installed the program, insert the license key within 60 days. The registration process is easy and only takes a few minutes. At the end of the one year you simply need to re-register and obtain a new free license.

Hi Mak,
AVG is the best free antivirus available. You can check it's reputation at www.virusbulletin.com. If you want to try it, don't waste your time on their awful website. You can spend ages trying to download the free version while they keep pointing you to the 'all singing-all dancing' paid version. Download it from majorgeeks.com by googling 'avg free majorgeeks'.
It's completely free and equal to most of the best paid AV. Try it for yourself and enjoy!

Answer:
Try a online antivirus scanner and a online anti-adware/malware/spyware scanner in safe mode with network to clean up your personal BEFORE you download anything. This because the program you download can get infected.
Disable “System Restore” for Windows Me and XP, then restart your PC to clean your system restore points for viruses, spyware, adware etc.
Now restart in safe mode.
To get in safe mode Press “F8″ upon bootup.
Choose “Safe mode with Networking”.
Go to Start – Run - type iexplore http://www.bitdefender.com/scan8/ie.html Enter(ok).
Do a full system scan. If something is found, delete it, reboot and do the same again in safe mode with network.
When that scan does not find anything you reboot again in safe mode with network.
Go to Begin – Run – type iexplore http://www.ewido.net/en/ Enter(ok).
Do a full system scan. If something is found, delete it, reboot and do the same again in safe mode with network.
**NOTE: Do NOT do anything else with your personal when scanning. This because you can start virus/adware/spyware/malware manually.
When no one of these scanners are showing anything you can reboot back to normal mode.
Turn on “System Restore”.

You need to get one antivirus program, one firewall and some spyware/adware/malware removers if you don't have it.
I use Norton World wide web Security (antivirus, spyware, firewall, add blocker, mail spamfilter, pop up blocker etc) Ad Aware, Spybot and more on my desktop running XP Home SP2 with Firefox and Yahoo Toolbar with pop up blocker.
On my laptop i have Ubuntu 7.04. No security needed in Linux, but i use antivirus and firewall. Firefox is standard.
I have no virus, spyware, adware, pop ups etc on my personal.
Mozilla Firefox and Opera are safer browsers to use then Internet Explorer.

AVG Anti-spyware Free.
http://free.grisoft.com/doc/20/lng/us/tp…
Spybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your World wide web Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been “hijacked” (or changed without your knowledge), your personal is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free, so there's no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer.
