Free Anti-Virus and Anti-Spy ware for your Windows Based Computer

 

These days you need both anti-virus and and anti-spyware software on your computer.  Yes you can buy it but the commercial programs have gotten so blotted and huge and add so much overhear to your machine it's sometimes not worth the effort.

Here are some of my suggestions for both type of protection. You really only need one anti-virus but running all the anti-spy ware programs is recommended.

Latest News

Microsoft has released a new Anti Virus/Anti Malware Package that is free to valid Windows users

Microsoft security Essentials provides protection is automatically updates using the Windows Update Process and initial impressions are that it places less load  on your machine than other available protection packages    *** My Personal Pick***

Anti-Virus

    AVG  They also have a commercial version but  freebie works just fine.  

    Avast Again they have a commercial version but this works great

Anti-Spy Ware

    Ad-Aware   The Personal version is available for free.

    Spyware Blaster   Also a freebie and works proactively to keep you safe. 

    Spybot Search and Destroy Great tool and again it's proactive   

     Windows Defender  A great anti spy ware tool and the price is right, you just need to have a genuine copy of Windows

WORD OF CAUTION

Like any program these are only any good if you keep them up today and do a periodic scan, particularly with Ad-Aware and SpyBot Search and Destroy.
