Keep your computer running like new.
Have you been searching for a great antispyware to keep your computer running like new? If so, you will be happy to know that there are some great options out there. I have tried many different types of antispyware only to find that the majority of them find the exact same types of bugs. The biggest difference that you will find between all the different types of antispyware offered is the price. Search-and-destroy Antispyware is an excellent choice that can be purchased at a lower price than many of the other options available.

Agreed Rick, there is no reason to go out and pay for software, when there are great free ones that work just as well. I have had AVG for years and it works great, never had a virus. I used that and Spybot or adaware and it takes care of what I need. Chris is right about behavior though in some ways, the Porn site tips is right on, the free one is not exact as there are lots of sites with free downloads that are quite safe. To suggest people need to go to his friend’s website to buy tools, that Im sure work well, is not needed. Do some research and there are more than enough free tools to sercure any system, PC or Macs which will need the same type of security in the future

I personally love the AVG antivirus and Comodo Firewall. Both free and both highly reviewed and in my testing better than the offerings from Symantec..

The free programs seem to work better than hogs like Norton. Looks like Mac Owners may want to start some security research soon

The reason that the Windows firewall hasn’t warned you about FF’s accessing the net is that up until this morning, all of it’s attempts have been outbound. But for some reason, this morning, it decided that it wanted to receive data from the internet.

The firewall is doing exactly what it’s supposed to do – it’s stopping FF from listening for an inbound connection (which a web browser probably shouldn’t do) and it’s asking you if it’s ok.

Why has your copy of firefox suddenly decided to start receiving data over the net when you didn’t ask it to?
