        Also remember to have Malware (spyware) software on your computer.
        sometimes anti virus software does not pick up spyware.
        (most of it is harmless}

        I think most will agree Malware Bytes is a good one to have
        and remember to keep it updated and run a regular scan
        download the free version (click the free button)

          and can stop Windows updates

                Read the text under the big orange download button lol. However, it's easy to stop certain windows updates but the free essentials works regardless of passing authenticity

                    Re: Free Spyware, Malware & Virus Protection

                    Just browsing the forums, I would highly recommend malwarebytes and avg free!

                    Used to be an adaware fan but malwarebytes is better IMO.

                    Just don't put 2 AV programs on at once lol! Av and spyware are ok though.

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