    • I need the BEST Anti virus ever.
    My laptop is VAIO so it uses Vista as it's operating system.
    Can anyone please reccomend any antivirus? With site.
    Oh, and... I don't really care if it's free or paid.

    BTW, I just realized that my laptop itself already has Norton Internet Security 2008.
    Is that good?

    • Norton just lets you know you have a virus and that it cant do shit to help you.

    For antispyware I recommend Spybot Search and Destroy

    For antivirus I would go with AVG

    • Yeah AVG free 8.0 works best, i can find a cracked full version too if you want, but i use AVGAS for spyware, works well for me also.

    Err, well, I can find the software, but maybe not the crack.. ^^
    AVGAS is still under one flag with AVG, yes?
    Hmm... This is pretty difficult.. ;__;

    • GET A MACBOOK :V

    If you're not able to use CommonSense™ Internet Security, then AVG and spybot should do you ok =o

    Why people still use a software firewall when every router on the planet has a hardware one built in still eludes me, but even windows' built in firewall should suffice =o

    commonsense also saves you alot of money
