    Virus Protection

    I'd Suggest You Better Skip The Idea of Using Those Security Suites. Better Use Some Free To Use Yet HIghly Rated For VIrus Protection Engines. Here's What I Suggest Top Three...


    1. Avira AntiVir Personal Classic Edition
    2. Avast! Home Edition
    3. AVG Free

    Avira Is Found To Trigger Less False Alarms Than Anyother AV (Even Paid Don't Have That Kind'a Accuracy), & Is Much Better Than some of The Paid Ones. Next Is Avast!, For It's Individual Scanner Protection & It's Unique VRDB (Virus Recovery Database) Feature.

    If You're Looking For Firewall Protection Then Again, The Free Stuff Come To The Rescue.


    1. ZoneAlarm Free
    2. Comodo Firewall Pro.
    3. PC Tools Firewall

    We All Know How Good ZA Firewall Can Be..! Comodo Has Passed All The Leak Test That Can Be Serious For Your System Security. PC Tools Is Not New To The Scene Here, Still Has Very Good Firewall With Less Questions Asked, Recomended For NewBie.

    Do I need virus protection?

    Alright so I recently built a comp. rig and just wondered all I was going to do with the computer is watch movies and surf youtube. Do I really need a virus protection. If I download AVG free do I have to download windows defender? I also have zone alarm suite security with firewall and virus protection. I just wondered if I really needed a virus protection and firewall blocker. Can there be viruses on movie files or music files. All my movie files and music files work it's just that I wondered if it was possible to have a virus in the movie or music file.
    Thx... just want to keep my expensive rig virus free.
    On a side note I am using ssd to run my operating system if people are saying zonealarm will slow the computer down.
