I’m having a issue understanding virus protection because I had a virus before and Dell tech team said I needed to reformat pc and I did. I downloaded viruus protection programs and aren’t them programs to remove the virus? Say if I downloaded a song from LimeWire what is the virus protection will do? Are the free AVG protections good or is better buying protections instead of getting a free version? Some sites I go to ads appear when closing, how can I prevent that do I need a spyware protection?
Chosen Answer:
If you want free stay away from AVG. The free version has no rootkit protection. If you want free go with Avast or Avira both good free choices that will give you some protection from rootkits.
If you want paid, Norton, Avira, G Data, or Bitdefender are all good choices. If you are going to use limewire, it does not really matter which one of these you pick, Sooner or later you will get infected. So my advice is don’t use P2P file sharing.
