What is your list of the best free security softwares?

I understand that we should not pay for the security of our computers. Many others think the same way and created free softwares like Comodo, Crawler, Javacool....e.t.c....

What do you think is the best combination of free softwares? Are you currently using them on your Windows?

What is your list of the best free security softwares?ktm

Being an IT Manager, I firmly believe you get what you pay for, PERIOD. Using a combination of freebies will cost you not a dime, but will cost you PLENTY of performance on your computer, and in many cases bring it to a standstill. The best pay AV/AS I've found, that I use on all our office machines and mine at home is BitDefender. Very reasonably priced and has been doing the right thing for us here for over a year. Doesn't weigh down your system like Norton, McAfee or Panda. BitDefender does have a freebie available, but again, you get what you pay for. Trend Micro is also decent, not slowing your computer alot, but is pretty pricey compared to BitDefender. Cheers!

You will need a REALLY FAST computer with lots of memory to follow some of these suggestions ... loading 3- 5 programs to run in the background is like putting 3-5 paper filters in your coffe maker.

I have a huge problem with my computer ever since i uninstalled a whole bunch of programs!!!?

i went away to college, and they have you install security programs on your computer. While i was at school i had to install a bunch of other things as well, i downloaded aim, and stuff like that so i could talk to my friends, adobe reader, and things like that. now im at home, and i wanted to uninstall everything that i dont use becuase my desktop looked like a mess. so i did. its currently not hooked up to any internet or anything. ever since i did that, every time i try to log on, or try to click on anything, it starts to load, but just ends up looking stuck and a blurry picture. Also the monitor goes on and off all the time! everytime i try to click on something it does that also. sometimes it will go into sleep mode and even if i move the mouse it doesnt wake up! one time a blue screen came up and was like ''if this is the first time seeing this message, restart the computer. if its not do the following.'' its a dell and windows, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Back up your data and reinstall Windows from the CD that should have come with your laptop. Sounds like you removed some things you shouldn't have. While it might be possible to figure them all out, and reinstall them, it probably would take a lot more time and effort.

File download from unknown zone in Internet - I am in problem after unckecking the Security message?

while attempting file download from Unknown Zone, a small yellow box comes up with 3 options 'Open' 'save' 'cancel' along-with a security caution at the end, and a checkbox(with default checkmark) containing a message 'Always ask before opening this type of files' . I am in great problem after I unckecked the checkbox. All large files with that particular extension(.csv) are opening direct on my browse. However, this unchecking has not affected opening of files with other types of extensions (.dbf etc.) in unknown zone, and they are displaying the 'warning message' as usual. Changes made in Security-Privacy-View-Display Settings etc., failed to restore Original settings for that particular type of file download. Direct downloads from UnknownZone without having a chance to Review the file is a security threat to my computer.

How can I restore back to my Original Settings ?

File download from unknown zone in Internet - I am in problem after unckecking the Security message?liveupdate

well there are many options. the best one would be to check system restore in control panel. and restore the os to a previous date. you can also make a disk partition and isntall another os, then tranfers your old files to the new os. Also dont mind much about that box that comes up when you try to download a file. its only a warning it doenst do anything. get a firewall and customize it to do this instead of that useless box.

Is it wise to get rid of Windows Security Alerts from your Windows XP Service Pack 2?

We already have Zone Alarm [free edition] and AVG Free Edition. And how do you delete Windows Security Alerts from your computer?

Is it wise to get rid of Windows Security Alerts from your Windows XP Service Pack 2?malware

If you want to deactivate the Windows Security Alerts you must access Start - Control Panel - Security Center - in the tab you select Change the way Security Center alert me - and you deselect what you want.

Hope that works

Is it wise to get rid of Windows Security Alerts from your Windows XP Service Pack 2?norton 360

Unwise..... a fully patched machine is mandatory for security. See ''zero day threats'' to understand this.
Don't bother that alerts.

But I need to advised you that AVG is useless.

Try change to Avira antivir or active virus shield.
GabrielB has provided you with the correct info on changing alerts. If you are automatically updating your virus defs for AVG using the scheduler you shouldn't have a problem with those alerts anyway. It is definitely recommended to keep auto updates for windows on, unless of course you are running a pirate copy of XP which won't allow you to update.

On the subject of AVG - check out their awards and certifications. They get the same certs from the big names as Avira and don't bother with a whole bunch of awards from pissy little contests held in Germany only. 100% detection rate that's what it's about and that's what they concentrate on, not entering contests. Be assured that what you are using is just as good as Avira.

Mcafee is saying my computer is not fulling protected?matchless

I had this before . Just install McAfee

and go in search , type in Mcafee and delete remaining files that may be still there.

Then reinstall it. It happened to one of my students and this fixed his ..same problem.

you shouldn't have the same problem after you reinstall it. OH !! clean up your disc ..disc cleanup , defrag etc before reinstalling it so it will run smoother.

if your still having problems you can contact me thru my profile.

also if you print this out you'll get to know mcafee's program better.

the people where you bought the comp are not technitions , so disregard that fact.

Mcafee is saying my computer is not fulling protected?norton 2008

Hi, McAfee released an update on the 30th of July which caused these problems the only way to resolve this issue is to do a complete reinstall of McAfee on your computer ( if you contact technical support they will tell you the same) This is the Site you need that will fix your problem https://us.mcafee.com/root/fix.html
go to where u bought this computer. They will help u fix the problem. It should be contacting Mcafee automatically at least once a day to get updated.
Mcafee releases new virus definitions just about everyday so it appears that your PC is not getting updates from the Mcafee servers. It should be contacting Mcafee automatically at least once a day to get updated. Mcafee has multiple corporate and home user versions so the specifics of what you should check will depend on what version of their product you have.
Hi,

Please do this just download a free copy of AVG Anti-Virus and dump Mccafee it's rubbish, AVG is free and comes with free Updates as well. This will help you.
Have you made sure that you have registered it for updates.

also, you need to make sure everything has been configured
Full System Scan is mandatory now every 15 days.

Open the security center and you will see a button on the top right which will say ''Fix it'' Click the button and Mcafee will fix the problem.

Good Luck!

How can I clear all personal information from my computer?

I want to take some security measures on my computer, I'm not so much worried about my computer getting a virus, moreso about someone having access to my personal information like my name, address, etc.

Is there a way someone can find out who or where I am just by hacking into my laptop? And if so, How can I clear or change this information so I am completely safe in case, hypothetically, someone were to obtain my laptop and carry out illegal activities on it.

I'm pretty much looking for a way to remove any connection between me and my computer.

How can I clear all personal information from my computer?mcaffee

Pull out your hard drive and smash it. That;ll do the trick.

Or...don't put correct information in it when you first buy it. Like sign in as John Doe.

How can I clear all personal information from my computer?norton antivirus 2007

Clear all your cache and your history everytime you close your internet browser as a first. then you should download google desktop and search for your name, your address etc and it will find anything connecting to it so you can delete yourself from it. also you should add more passwords to things, a good security measure is to use a different password for everything, most people use a set password for everything they do on a computer which means that if someone cracks the password they have complete control.

Norton should suffice but mc afee is better
They will always find a way in, no matter what you have installed. However, ensure you get Microsoft Security Updates regularly, by turning on the update facility, and ensure you firewall is always on. You do not say what security you have, but download Spybot - Search and Destrpo (make sure it is the right one). AVG Free, ADAwareSE. These are free from www.download.com
You should get the Norton Virus disks.
Make sure you keep your anti-virus and anti-spyware are kept up to date and also make sure that none of your ports are open. The link will help you

Disconnect your computer from the Internet then remove the attackers trojan horse which he uses to control your machine remotely with antivirus.
