Help me protect my computer!?

the Norton Anti-Virus software, which came free for 3 months with my laptop, has now expired.

After just a few secureless days, I found myself somehow with over 20,000 trojans on my hard drive. I have dealt with the problem now but I need advice on how to protect my laptop for free, if possible.

I am willing to use multiple software as long as I can protect myself against viruses, spyware and all the other baddies.

Please help..

Try Spybot S%26D and Adaware and run a full system spyware scan they both put together take care of most spyware type infections and are free to use .

These days you need a whole lot more than just a virus protection. Only about 15% of all malware is viruses. The rest is worms, trojans, phishing schemes, spyware, etc.

Here's some ideas to "roll ya own" Internet Security Suite for free. Free is always the best.
