What is the best way to protect my new computer?virus protection software
Anti-virus programs (use only 1):
AOL Active Virus Shield powered by Kaspersky is currently the best free anti-virus (99% detection rate). The most popular free anti virus programs are AVG Free and Avast which are recommended above Norton and McAfee. Norton is notoriously bloated and takes forever to perform full systems scans. If you want to pay for an anti-virus NOD32 is highly recommended. You can download AOL Active Virus Shield, AVG or Avast from the links below. There is absolutely no spyware and they are completely free.
Anti-spyware programs (ok to use many):
