I can't figure our my virus protection program for my computer. PLEASE HELP!!!?

I installed Norton 360 antivirus protection and it was working fine the last few days, but now when I turn my computer on it says in red "BROWSING NOT SAFE: AUTO PROTECT OFF. So I go in to the Norton icon on my computer and it say that Auto protect is turned off (I don't know why I never turned it off) So I press the button "FIX" next to it but nothing happenes. PLEASE HELP!! I don't know waht to do...I'm not very smart when it comes to computers???

I can't figure our my virus protection program for my computer. PLEASE HELP!!!?nortin

I would normally suggest reinstalling the whole application. Some where along the way your program has a bug that Symantec will be best able to address. I believe the easiest and most appropriate thing would to be to call tech support. You paid for it.

I can't figure our my virus protection program for my computer. PLEASE HELP!!!?pc security

take it out and reboot the whole system ; try reloading it ; if that don't work to e easier anti virus program like www.zonealarm.com ; or something simular
I have had the same type of problem with Norton Antivirus 2007. It is usually cased by a driver or service that does not load or stops working. You can check your event log for errors.

If you purchased 360 you have phone support. I would try to reinstall the product, if that does not work, I would call Symantec.

Please can anyone recommend a good free antivirus download?

and where I go to get it? Also must I remove any old antivirus protection downloads before I install new one.

Many thanks.

Try eTrust from CA; it's considered better than the freeware programs.

Yes, after you download it, uninstall your old a/v before

you install the new one.

personally i like norton anti-virus, all you have to do is go to syntax.com and it should bring it up and you can also go to virus protection .com
Computer Associates offer a free Anti-virus program. I use it and haven't had any problems. You can go to Windows Catalog online and find the link under downloads.

How do I run my internet smoothly and still use McAfee Antivirus?

I had trouble installing my DSL to my new Dell Laptop from home because it would only stay at the yahoo home page and go nowhere else. An AT%26T Tech told me it was because of my McAfee Antivirus being activated on my Windows Vista and Vista has a lot of security. So he told me to go to msconfig and uncheck everything in the startup and running that says McAfee. I did and now my internet runs but I am scared to use it because I dont have the antivirus protection right? What do I do? Do I go back and check everything or just some of them? Which ones if so?

How do I run my internet smoothly and still use McAfee Antivirus?norton 2008

I would uninstall McAfee and go with a less resource heavy program like AVG free. It will still give you antivirus protection but won't eat resources like McAfee

How good is the free "Norton Security Pack" from Google, or eBay antivirus software you ca

Is the antivirus software you buy on eBay as good as that you buy directly from Semantic. It says they remove the scan bar for some reason. Also Google offers a free "Norton Security Scan" with their service pack. Is this good antivirus protection?

How good is the free "Norton Security Pack" from Google, or eBay antivirus software you can buy?norton antivirus

Very very dangerous! those are, or can be loaded with modifications including spywares, adware.

Those also are mostly cracked, refrenning supports from Norton.

Best advice; get the download trait from www.symantec.com.

or Mcafee (that one on the simple virus protection is also including firewall and spyware protections for $39/year).

What is email address or phone # of someone who can help me with Norton Online Protection installed

I have downloaded the latest version of Yahoo's Norton Antivirus Protection and I can't get it to update. I get a message that says the Live Update is running in the background, so any changes to it must wait until it is finished. It has been running since March 16th. The Help Menu and Help Tabs are confusing. I am not computer savy and need someone to talk to that can tell me what to do. Can you give me a phone number or email address for help? It's frustrating. I have "un-installed and re-installed" using the Dashboard twice, and re-booted, with no luck. The LiveUpdate just keeps running in the backgroud, even after I reboot, and I can't get the current AntiVirus software updated. I think I have version 2007.03.14. Please HELP. Thanks.

I've also had this happen to me.

I "took a chance" and un-installed Norton and then re-installed it (provided that you have the installation disk available). After I was done the system was okay again. Every now and then Norton will "corrupt" itself.

When you do this (un-install) and (re-install), Norton will be completely in RED and alert you that EVERYTHING is not up to date. You will have to run a full scan as well as a live-update again.

I hope this helps you along.

You have an adaware problem and to get rid of it use this free program.
Phony alert boxes or "balloon" pop-ups from the tray (by the clock) about a trojan, virus or spyware infection and the attempt to sell you some useless software to "fix" the problem usually indicates that your computer has a Smitfraud infection. DO NOT BUY THE PRODUCT THEY TRY TO SELL YOU! IT IS SCAM.

Sounds like your computer may have a variant of this ubiquitous Smitfraud infection.

Almost all "general purpose","all-in one" spyware and virus removal programs such as AVG, Norton, McAfee or Spybot S %26 D cannot remove it, as you may have already found out.

I had a pop-up appear on my screen about a month ago that masquerades as an antivirus and can&#039;t

When it appeared as "XP Antivirus Protection 2008" I mistook it as something from Microsoft. It offered a free scan, so I mistakenly checked it out and before it would delete the bugs it found it needed to be paid $49 which I refused. Now it is stuck on my task bar with a logo similar to Microsoft's followed by "xpa" and every few minutes it pops up onto my screen. It doesn't show up under "Programs" on my hard drive. How can I dump this annoying low life skunk?

If you are running window XP you do have a virus protection built in but you have to have it turned on in control panel go to setting then click on security and you will see your settings in there. Now if you are looking for a good anti-virus program I suggest AVG free. You go to avg.com and download the free software. Now don't buy it. I say if it is free then I will take it so you do have to be patient because you will have to keep clicking free like forever.

I Have norton antivirus and firewall, is it ok if i download windows defender 4 extra protection?

What version of Norton are you using? are you using 2005? If yes, they you dont have to anything. It has an in built Anti spyware, which is heck lot better than Windows Defender. I would not personally recommend it to u coz it will make ur compture pretty much slow. Also, they may have some conflict with each, which may coz hard drive Crash, slow running comps, weird behaviors etc.

Be very wary about installing any other security products alongside Norton. It really doesn't "play well with others".

Make sure you have all your backups in place

yea go ahead because Windows Defender is a Anti-Spyware Program FREE from microsoft. You still can download it,but i would turn off the internet security for a while (on norton) while you download/install. The internet security made my computer crash often. (eMachines T5010)
You don't say what OS you are running....

Most of the tech/trade magazines suggest that you should use more than one anti-spyware program. Symantec is ok, it generally rates well, but it is an antivirus.

Get f-secure firewall and anti-virus. You can get a free trial for 3 weeks. The firewall will tell you about any program connecting to the internet that isn't usual. Like I stop it connecting media player on my desktop. I use the Windows firewall on my laptop - that stops some things coming in but not connections out. So MSN know all my playlists and what music I listen to. So a firewall will protect you against malware, viruses, worms, trojans, etc. the anti virus will scan all emails and everything else coming in for viruses and malware. You can schedule it to scan once a week and do a full system scan at a time when you aren't using the computer or even if you are using it! It does it better if you aren't using it. I also do an occasional scan with Ccleaner - that removes cookies, temporary files and other crap. F-secure also do an online scan - when a virus stopped my anti-virus program working - the online scan found it and deleted it. The program isn't the cheapest - it comes from Finland. If you happen to bank with Barclays give them a ring. I got a discount on the firewall and antivirus for my desktop and a licence for the antivirus for my laptop free for 2 years. I think that offer is still on for people who do online banking.

Hate, Norton Antivirus, McAfee is the best
Norton probably came with your computer or..... when you got it and now they want you to pay for it as the trial period is up. You've been given some good choices, make a decision but don't be with out any protection and remember you cannot run two anti virus scans at the same time, you must delete one of them as they conflict with each other. Peace!
Sure. Activate it!
Activate it and pay for it.
AVG antivirus is free, so consider using that instead of paying for Norton.
When you purchase an anti-virus nowadays, they wont protect your pc permanently. They usually give licenses which are valid for a year or so, depending on the license that you bought.

I have used AVG Anti Virus, Zone Alarm Firewall, Spy-bot Search and Destroy and Ad Aware both spyware killers for years. They are all free for personal use and I have had no trouble with Viruses Trojans etc. AVG does not slow the system down as much as some other products and Zone Alarm allows a lot of personal configuration unlike the Windows Firewall. They can all be downloaded from the following link. http://www.computeractive.co.uk/... On the home page select downloads and then the appropriate category.I also use Windows Defender from the Microsoft site. It is safe to use two anti-spy products but never use more than one A/V as it can cause conflicts. You should run A/V and anti spy weekly. Hope this helps

Does norton 360 conflict with bt yahoo online protection ?

i have bt broadband option 1 with basic security and have norton 360 installed as recommended. why is bt yahoo online protection antivirus and personal firewall refusing to be installed, and norton 360 can not run live updates.

Does norton 360 conflict with bt yahoo online protection ?security

Two Anti-virus programs may work well if run at the same time. but, two firewalls conflict and one must be disabled. If you install a firewall program on your PC, it is best to disable the Windows firewall as with any other brands. Your program may be refusing to be installed because you have one active already on your PC.

Does norton 360 conflict with bt yahoo online protection ?trojan

yahoo online protection is designed not to install/work unless the other antivirus software is uninstalled.

so it will not be enabled as long as u have norton 360.

but the antispy will work fine.

also.. there is no need for 2 antivirus software in the computer at all.

You could try the System Restore which takes you back to a time when your computer was working good. Go To:

start

programs

accessories

systems tools

system restore

This process is completely reversable. And does not remove your personal files. Just go back one checkpoint at a time until your puter is working good again.

If that doesnt work it might be best to save all your personal files and do a destructive restore back to factory settings. Not much fun I know. I highly recommend Norton Antivirus 2007. Good Luck

AVG is free.

AVG is also one of the worst programs to detect virus'.

If all you can afford is free, better than nothing.

If your looking to buy, go for Kaspersky, Nod32, or Mcafee.

Norton antivirus
Most portable internet devices are designed so websites cannot install software on them. So you don't have to worry about it.

In fact, nearly every operating system is made so that just looking at a website can't install a virus on your computer. Giving a web browser the privilege to install programs like that is retarded. Rampant viruses and spyware is almost entirely a Windows-only problem because Microsoft doesn't get it.

What will happen if i have two antivirus softwares installed in my system?will they harm windows!?virus scan

No, they shouldn't directly HARM your system but they are likely slow it down if used together....

Having more programs scanning files before you get to use them... some programs keep files on hold and you don't want scans to take so long that a program stops responding....

Also I recommend AGAINST Norton Antivirus/Internet Security Suite, especially older versions around 2000-2003 vintage... it's too complex for its own good, and not only slows your system down but tends to eventually make windows fall over...

All that being said, I'm running Windows XP here and do have 2 virus scanners installed in tandem (I believe even that's probably overkill) both are free... Avast! and AVG free... (Avast also does some spyware scanning but stuff like Adaware seems to do better)

Question about avg antivirus?symantic

AVG free antivirus is all you need in the way of AV programs. But AVG won't rid your computer of spyware, and keep it off. Only anti-spyware will do that. So just having antivirus isn't enough unless you intend for your computer to eventually bog down completely from spyware. You need to Get SpyBot Search %26 Destroy to safely remove spyware. Best of all, it鈥檚 free. After installing it, immunize the computer against over 30,000 known pieces of spyware. Then run a full bot check and remove everything it finds using the Fix Selected Problems tab. Keep it updated and run it weekly to keep your computer free of this stuff. Then get Ad-Aware also from download.com and run it the first time doing a Full System Scan. Thereafter, run a Smart Scan daily.

http://www.download.com/

Keep them both updated and use them.

Question about avg antivirus?viruses

you can have it from internet, download its exe that is from grisoft and you can also put it on update automatically while installing it so that you dont need to update it again and again and even keep your eye on validity date thats its expiry.
AVG is not the "do all" anti-malware program but it is a very good and free anti-virus solution.

You should only run one anti-virus program at a time no matter how manny you have!

As for other malware such as adware, spyware, keyloggers and the rest, get at least two programs to search and delete them. I use Adaware SE and Spybot S%26D. Both are free for personal use.
It's recommended to use only one anti-virus program on each system. You should also use one anti-spyware program and a firewall.
u can only have one anti virus cas if u have more they will screw each other up

and about anti spyware

u can have more then one but it will slow ur computer like hell

so ur choice

1 of each is best

So far it works great but i need an antivirus.

Nod32 uses few resources, and is rated in the same class as the top rated Kaspersky.

If you actually want a computer condom, like B M suggested, they do exist. They're called sandboxes though! : )

I'm working with one such program called ZoneAlarm ForceField, which acts like a stunt double for your browser. Basically, all the bad things on the internet will affect ForceField and not your actual computer, so spyware, sketchy downloads, phishing, etc. can't get through. For your cousin, it has the extra benefit of not leaving a history on your computer, so no one has to know where he's been looking. If you want to try out our free beta, you can visit us here: http://zonealarm.com/forcefield

You should still use antivirus, antispyware, and a firewall- browser security is just another protective layer.

Good luck! ~Lauren

Antivirus/firewall help?

I recently got internet (finally) and I am looking for the best firewall and antivirus/anti-spy protection, preferably a free download if it's good. Here's some I looked at on PC World: avast, avg, a-squared, ad-aware, jetico. I also already had windows defender, yahoo anti-spy, and live onecare safety scanner. Are any of these any good? Also when I bought the laptop years ago it came with mcafee and norton but they are the old (2002) versions. would they be worth keeping? I have heard that Norton slows pcs down, which i don't want, and that you should only have one antivirus program running. is this true and if so, why? I don't do much more online than surf for fun, email, and once in awhile order stuff, so it isn't exactly high profile but I want to be safe. Any help would be appreciated!

Antivirus/firewall help?triumph

Dump the Norton and the McAfee, they will be useless as they are way out of date. I would definitely uninstall both.

Norton can be hard to uninstall completely. If you have a problem, download and run the Norton Removal Tool from the Norton / Symantic website.

http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsg...

Windows defender, yahoo anti-spy, and live onecare safety scanner are all pretty mediocre performers.

I am guessing that a computer that old has very little RAM. You probably would want to use a "light" firewall.

Windows Defender will play nicely with Kaspersky, but KAV (and KIS) already have pretty decent spyware protection.

Help with antivirus and antispyware?abtuvurys 2005

Uninstall ZoneAlarm firewall and get the free Comodo Personal Firewall instead, it's much better.

http://personalfirewall.comodo.com/

There isn't any need to switch to Kaspersky anti-virus as Avast! Home edition is good enough. Just make sure to keep Avast!, Windows Defender and Comodo active and updated all the time. You can also use the free McAfee Site Advisor plug-in for your browser (IE and Firefox), it will warn you of bad sites:

http://siteadvisor.com/

You may also keep a secondary anti-spyware to scan your system every week or so. I will recommend the free version of Super anti-spyware.

P.S.Never use more than anti-virus or firewall, they can cause driver conflicts.

Protection against viruses when downloading ALOT?

I was just wondering how to protect my PC from nasty lil virsues while I download?? I already have Norton antivirus n firewall protection.... however I play around with digital images and tagged signatures which requires alot of downloading large zip files.. due to my own lack of experience I didnt back up my system and 2 months ago I was infected with a nasty troajn virus that norton could not get rid of for less then 200 bucks.. needless to say I didnt have that to spend so I was forced to reformat the whole thing, losing a ton of personal stuff.. please help.. I have heard that people section off a portion of their hard drive for downloads so it cant infect their main programs but with out detailed directions I wouldnt have the foggiest idea as to how to do something like that.. sooo HELPPPPPP :) please...

Protection against viruses when downloading ALOT?vincent

Partition of your HDD, is not going to help your problem. The problem you have is Nortons. (I am a beta tester for just about every antivirus/antispyware and other software programs).

Nortons is the very worse junk on the market. Plus a hugh resource hog. Does not know how to find a virus or get rid of one if found.

Would remove and install an antiviurs that I have used for ten plus year and never had one virus enter my PC. Also used by the Govt., Of China. Has a state of the art background scanner that kills a virus in real time, the second you open a webpage, download any compressed file or regular file that has an embedded virus. Even kills any file that doe not have a valid publisher or valid Lic.

Which antivirus is better defender pro or Mc Affee?

i just got some mcaffee antivirus and firewall protection my defender is 2005 version my mcaffee is 2007 version have any of you ever had a problem with either program not protecting if so which one i'm concidering taking off the defender pro and useing the mcaffee they cant both be ran at the same time

Which antivirus is better defender pro or Mc Affee?virus protection software

Antivirus software is just a band aid that you put over the open sores of a poorly designed operating system. If you're not using Windows, you don't need the band aid. If you are using Windows, you need to switch to a better OS.

Which antivirus is better defender pro or Mc Affee?adware

Better wait awhile. Ad-Aware (lavasoft) is

coming out with an entire anti-spyware suite.

It's in beta now and due out in March. No, I

don't work for them, I just like Ad Aware a

lot so will check and see what they're

anti-virus/firewall , is all about because I'm

due for a change also.
Virus can break any anti virus such as the new virus known as win32 no antivirus can stop him because when its entered in to pc it copies it self every time you start ur pc and anti virus can not detect it.Mcaffee some time find virus in its own file and deletes it and ur antivirus will be curupted.Just download antivir from a website download it from my site .http://ghost123.page.tl in the softaware link.thank you
I've been using eaccelleration "stop sign" for over 2 years now, and never got a virus, trojan, or anything. It does everything on it's own, incliding spyware, malware, spam blocking, and email scanning. It stops everything. I'll never use anything else!!
well u already paid for it.. and then mcafee is a popular company they wont ply with their reputation. wats defender pro. anyways i would suggest being with mcafee and when its time to renew buy something like bitdefender which is 45 bucks for 2 yrs
None of those (never run 2 antivirus same time they crash and stuff)

Kaspersky and Nod32 are the Best. (you want full defense get internet security suites)

ZoneLab Products are good as well

if you want antivirus for free, get Active Virus Shield, Powered by kaspersky (just with a few features less), By AOL, no Aol registration needed.

What other internet security or antivirus and antispyware good for HP computer?

Free AVG anti-virus from

Spybot Search and Destroy from:

www.safer-networking.org and

Zone Alarm from http://www.zonelabs.com

THEY ARE ALL FREE!

What other internet security or antivirus and antispyware good for HP computer?agv

i have been selling Trend Micro PC Cillin for years and it is the only one that will keep your PC virus free! run Prevx1 along side of it and cant anything get you ever

And no they are not free (But you get what you pay for)
long answer for a short question ;)

as for FREE spyware/adware remover, the combination of BOTH of

SPYBOT S %26 D and

AD-AWARE PE work well in combination.

for a commerical product that does it all, i highly recommend Kaspersky. Kaspersky is so far the best protective one. I had many occasions that norton and mcafee let through occasional a virus/trojan horse, that Kaspersky found and cleared-up.

Need to turn protection on, but it won&#039;t let me?

You need to tell us what software you have, but try restarting the computer.
1. Download and run firefox to protect your from future spyware attacks and pop ups which are coming in through internet explorer (Trojan downloaders, win32 ) .Then update your windows through firefox

http://securitynewsfromthenet.blogspot.c...

Also install internet explorer 7 which is now free for everyone oct2007

Not accepting the Norton AntiVirus 2006 activation key?

Alright, I just download a LiveUpdate thing, and when I restarted my computer, it said 'my free trial period has ended'. I tried activating the program with the program key that I found on my computer, but it doesn't work.

It says "There is a problem with your activation key'

I do not have the CD for the program, because we bought the computer with the program installed already. What should I do?

I'm using Norton AntiVirus and Norton Protection Center, both the 2006 series.

Not accepting the Norton AntiVirus 2006 activation key?virus scan

Your free trial has expired coz it happened to me too. You only had a certain number of days for the trial. Now you need to purchase a new anti virus for your pc.

Not accepting the Norton AntiVirus 2006 activation key?anti virus scan

nortons no good try

microsoft windows live onecare it free for 90 days it a all in one anti virus spyware backs up your files does disk clean up defrag and check for updates we all know how bad p2p are and this will protect you its live so ifa spyware or virus trys to enter your computer it will nail it its about 39.00 for a year with free upgrades when they are avable and you can use it on 3 pc's go to microsoft.com downloads and trials and download a full working verison
The new Norton is 2007.
Try to use Spybot S%26D(free antispyware), and AVG or NOD32 antivirus. I'm using NOD32 and Spybot for few years and never had any damage on my comp.
It cannot accept the product key because the software's free trial period has ended, and you cannot update until you renew your subscription with Norton.
There is a difference between a Product/Program Key (and other aliases) which you might find on the 'About' page of a program, and an activation key. As a rule, activation keys do not remain stored.

Is this a good combo for computer protection?virus scanner

Umm..ok I'll try my best 2 answer this...

Just take a look at my post and you'll have your PC free of all threats once %26 for good!

1/. Anti-spyware: Get a free anti-spyware product: few years ago folks used to think spybot search %26 destroy and Adaware are the oustanding candidates for spy-ware removal, but these no longer are anymore. With the global evolution of malicious softwares all these years, the one that has the edge now is spywareterminator and its real-time scannning w/c can be down-ed fr here: www.spywareterminator.com

OR get the best commercial products like spyware doctor(www.spywaredoctor.com); webroot spysweeper(www.webrootspysweeper.com) and use torrent to get validation codes, serials, keygens or whatever for those*. This is kinda hard so I'll show you at the end of my post specifically*.

2/. Anti-virus: Some antivirus comes with spyware removal tool and vice-versa, but I strongly suggest you download anti-spy and anti-virus softwares SEPARATELY to ensure maximum safety with layered protections. Free popular anti-virus like AVG 7.5 Free Edition can be down-ed from www.grifsoft.com. But if you're wise enough at using torrent to get keygens and serials*, download kaspersky antivirus 6 at kaspersky.com (takes a lil bit long but is much better compared to AVG- its detection rate: more than 95% while AVG Free is only 85%)%26gt;%26gt;You can see statistics of every tests that were performed to compare many famous security products on techsupportalert.com

I also hear avg is good, which is also free.

just don't use norton; it's terrible.
I use Mcafee total protection, it is fine, as for anti-spy, I suggest Spybot search and destroy.

System Mechanic 7 is garbage and has messed your your pc, trying to play mechanic.

You have the disk, suggest that you remove the program.

Go to your start, open, accessories, open system tools and open system restore. See if there is a date that you can restore your pc back to your last good configuration.

Do I need Norton Protection Ctr. and Yahoo Online Protection?

On my bottom taskbar I have both the Norton Protection Center icon (circle) and the AT%26T Yahoo! Online Protection icon (triangle). It appears they are both loaded and running on my computer. The Norton software seems to be running fine (all security boxes are checked) but Yahoo Protection shows an AntiVirus and AntiSpyware scan are needed and this "scan needed" alert does not change when I run the Norton Protection Center scan. If I hit the "Scan Now" button in Yahoo Protection, I get a hourglass symbel for a few seconds and then nothing else happens. Are these two protection programs fighting each other or working together?

Do I need Norton Protection Ctr. and Yahoo Online Protection?vista

OK when you downloaded Yahoo Online Protection it came with the Norton Protection. Actually the Norton is the Yahoo Online protection. The Yahoo icon actually does nothing except tell you whether or not Norton is on.

They are one and the same thing. I did disable the silver att shield on my task bar at one time. If you are scanning with Norton you are good. Sometimes the Att part doesn't recognize that Norton did the scan right away for them. Use the Norton part of it. It might refresh after restarting your computer. I have had the same problem before with Att not recognizing the scan was done. But it is not a problem.

EDIT You did run the full system scan? There is also the quick scan. The full system scan might be needed to turn the alert off.

Message from norton antivirus that i am being attacked, what does it mean?

i have virus protection from norton antivirus and get messages that i am being attacked. is it from another computer? a virus intrusion? The message says that is is blocked and when i view the block, block address have a bunch of numbers on it like 123.456789.1.123. what do those numbers mean? is there a way for me to view who is attacking or finding out who is doing this?

Message from norton antivirus that i am being attacked, what does it mean?windows

Probably from home network computer.

You can take the numbers and go to dnsstuff.com.

Put the numbers in there for an IP look up.

Message from norton antivirus that i am being attacked, what does it mean?antivirus download

The actual IP address in question would help, although in most cases, incoming traffic like that is often routine. It would help to know whether it's from your home network, your ISP, or outside of your ISP.
it means that either someone's broke into your computer, or a virus is trying to get in, or both. be sure your windows or norton firewall is turned on. try to get the ip address of the hacker, do a virus scan immediately and delete the virus. be sure your anti-virus is turned on at all times and kept up to date. or it could be spyware trying to get in. run a anti-spy scan, and delete anything and everything detected. keep your anti-spy turned on and up-to-date at all times

Is internet worm protection necessary?

There is an option to permanantly disable my internet worm protection from Norton Antivirus. Would disabling it permanently be a bad thing?

Is internet worm protection necessary?

You should never go on the Internet without full virus, spyware and firewall protection.

There are loads of Trojans, worms and other nasty viruses out there caused by idiots and hackers just waiting to get onto your computer, don't give them the chance or you'll regret it.

Is internet worm protection necessary?antivirus downloads

If you are using a particular anti-virus protection program, why would you want to disable any part of it, that was protecting you?

Keep the worm protection in place or use a different program.

Whatever you use for protection, allow it to use all the protection features it has to offer.

What are the best Antivirus(paid)?abtuvurys 2005

I have researched all anti-virus products and the best anti-virus protection is Kaspersky. Kaspersky is the best all-round anti-virus program. NOD32 is just as good if not better, it runs faster and has less software conflicts but may be more difficult to use.

The most popular free anti-virus programs (AVG and Avast) have poor detection rates (82.82%, 87.46% respectively). Norton is notoriously bloated and takes forever to perform full systems scans.

It sounds like the operating system and or files on your computer are hosed.

Things to try:

Run in safe mode and run 'Hijack this' and 'adaware' to remove any obvious viruses.

Go into msconfig and remove anything that is starting up automatically at boot time.

Reinstall your operating system (I'm assuming that you are running Windoze.

Try installing Linux.

Spybot - Search %26 Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S%26D is free, so there's no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer.

*shrugs* It's probably fine. They wouldn't be able to compete if they offered a really lame product... BUT... it is AOL. Frankly, I just don't care for AOL products (free or not).

I edit to agree with Gecko. I use ZoneAlarm for my firewall and Avast for my antivirus software -- in addition to running periodic checks for spyware and stuff with SpyBlaster, AdAware and SpyBot. But, I have never used AOL.
I would say, really... plz don't use any aol softwares or any kind of aol service.

all services that aol provides so far is CRAP!

Use McAfee.. is one of the best antivirus+firewall software rightnw.

You can download McAfee Internet security 2007 software for free from my website.
