Protect Your Computer For Free

Having a computer connected to the Internet can lead to problems with security, in terms of unwanted visitations courtesy of a virus, trojans, malware, spyware, etc. Fortunately there are ample applications and scans available to assist in protecting your machine and/or removing unwanted spyware, etc. All for free!

It is recommended that you have one firewall and one anti-virus application running at all times (having multiple instances of these may cause conflict and leave your computer open to attack). The other programs listed may be added as you see fit, but at least one from each category is advised. Clearly the scans and removal tools would only be required should you succumb to an attack.
