I always love things that are free and effective. I have bills that are reaching extraordinary boundaries and so I have searched and found a few spyware/adware removal and antivirus software which work very effectively and plus they are free.
One of my recent finds was Windows Defender which is a product from Microsoft. You can find it by doing a quick search on the download page of the Microsoft website. I have found it to be very effective. It gives you the option to scan your pc at specified times or scan whenever you want. It is equipped with the quick scan and the full scan capabilities. At the end of the scan you are presented with all the results to choose the next action which can be to delete all or delete specific items. In addition if windows is set to update itself automatically Windows Defender will also be updated automatically. I feel there is no one better than Microsoft to suggest the spy-ware removal tools we use. After all they are the ones who developed the operating system so they will know the best. It still puzzles me why Microsoft didn't make the software more widely known by many. But I'm glad I have found it and that's important.
If you download files with the peer to peer network with programs like Kaaza, LimeWire, etc you are at a high risk of becoming affected with spy ware. However these programs are now equipped with scanners that scan for viruses after you have downloaded your files.
-If you are looking for paid antispyware then you can browse the ads which show up on the sides of the pages in Helium when looking into the subject of anti spyware. You will be surprised at the amount you find. But I like the freebie stuff.
-Because I was fed up of paying monthly fees for every computer in my home when using Norton, I got my hands on Avast anti-virus. If you are from a corporation you have to pay for the software, but for home use it is free of charge. Compare this service to Norton which charges $4.95 per computer ($30 per month!).
Avast comes with a 60 day trial and is easily installed. For registration, all that you need to do is visit their website and copy the code they provide you with and past it into the software. This code is valid for one year, after which you simply return to the main site and grab another code for free carry out the copy past job again.
The program is automatically updated regularly and informs you audibly upon each update. There are plenty scanning options available. Upon detection of a virus or adware the software asks to delete or quarantine the infections as appropriate.
I have Avast installed on 6 computers owned by my immediate family. I am always pleased with its performance.
To those who say you cant get good things free; thanks to microsoft & avast! they have proven you wrong.
