Anyone know where I can get a free virus detector and firewall - a full version, not one of those trial versions where you have a limited time then have to pay for the real version. I did have one, but it caused me some problems and I had to delete it. I was going to get a Norton one, but found out you had to pay for it - typical!  |

Indeed - we use the Norton program on the laptop at home and it's removed a few spybots. I hate those. I'm afraid I don't know where they can be found but I'd be interested in knowing as well. Btw, Gamegirl: we're both using BT Openworld. Did you know that the vast majority of hacking into computers using it is by BT themselves? Interesting. |

AVG Free Edition (www.grisoft.com) is great (unless you're running a network, in which case you'll need the commercial version).
The Rough Guide to the Internet, which reccommended AVG, also reccommends The Cleaner (www.moosoft.com) for Trojans, ZoneAlarm (www.zonelabs.com) as a firewall and Ad-aware (www.lavasoft.de) for dealing with Spyware, but I haven't tried any of them myself.
