  1. biff, malwarebytes.org is the hot one right now. Spybot is a bit played, imo. Ad-Aware is pretty good also, see http://www.lavasoft.com/

    Frankly it doesn’t hurt to run two.

    I use avg but I pay for it, that would be my first choice as a paid one like bgirl says. I don’t like some of the ‘free’ versions of avg and McAffee cuz they don’t seem to go away when the trial period is up.

    TrendMicro has a free on-line scanner here:

    Most of it is common sense, like sex, better not to get sick in the first place. Don’t open attachments, don’t visit porn sites, etc.

    And DON’T click on something that tells you your computer is infected! That’s the latest scam around.

  2. Biff, you, the King of digging up old posts!

    Malwarebytes (free download and CNET reviews): http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html

    AVG (free anti-virus and anti-spyware download for Windows 7):
    http://free.avg.com/us-en/homepage

    If you need different versions, or more reviews, just Google “malwarebytes free” or “avg free” for anything you need.

    Did you get the new computer yet? The new Macbook you’re getting me will be under the tree, right???
