Re: Free Spyware, Malware & Virus Protection

With windows, what do I need to do? My laptop is playing games. AVG have told me that my protection ended on 1 November and my internet access keeps crashing.
do I need to delete AVG first?

No - Essentials is spot on if you use windows. It's really quite good

Yeah agreed. A lot of people slate it but no-one knows the operating system like the people who made it when you think about it!

If you bank with Barclays at all, you can get Kaspersky for free.

What is the best and preferably free protection to use?

Well its good, i mean if you want to avoid detection, then Tor is great, its slow though, thats the only downside.

I messed around with it for a while, theres a hell of a lot of onions you would want to avoid though, seriously avoid. Some sick people in the world

Yes, but if you are using it for security purposes, you should run it inside a VM only.
