What is the best free computer security software?
Hey everyone, I’ve previously used AVG but my pc still got Trojans and viruses. So I went and bought norton 360 and the pc broke. So I’m getting A new laptop for Christmas and was wondering what the best anti virus software is?

Try windows security essentials. There are plenty of free security programs at http://www.komando.com/securitycenter .
I’ve been through exactly the same, Norton is terrible.
I currently use AVG but all I seem to get from anti-virus and protection is hassle so I’m not too bothered if I’m honest - but I have heard that StopZilla is brilliant and only costs about £9 or so for a year.
Protection follows five main security software programs:
1 a firewall (install only one)
2 an anti-virus (install only one)
3 an anti-spyware/malware (install two or three)
4 a secure browser
5 a disk cleaner (temporary files,etc.)
Free firewalls:
Comodo Internet Security (just the firewall and not the anti-virus)
ZoneAlarm
PC Tools Firewall Plus
Outpost
Online Armor
Free anti-virus:
avast! Home Edition 4.8
Avira AntiVir Personal 9
AVG 9 (use Threatfire with this program)
Panda Cloud Anti-Virus
Microsoft Security Essentials

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware
Windows Defender

Spybot Search and Destroy
Spyware Terminator
