Guest jt750 Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 I use microsoft security essentials ..can be used with genuine windows only ..it has anti virus firewall and anti spyware ..runs fine on my laptop and only slows up slightly when updating but not scanning. I also use firefox with ad block plus and web of trust add ons. Web of trust is where people have rated websites for phishing spyware unwanted downloads etc all the nasty stuff you don't want on your computer...what it does is block the web page before you view it and gives you the options to look at the ratings before you open the web page ...if you're like me you use google's search engine and when it displays the findings it shows a small ring next to each site which has been rated from green(means ok) amber(could be dodgy) to red (no go) Like this ..and this was a link put up here on the forums This is all i need and i do venture into the dark side of the net from time time looking for freebies as we all do Quote Link to post Share on other sites
