Some will tell you Norton. But I don't use it. Haven't since the late 90's for various reasons.

Here are things I have been using since then,

Free Anti-virus:

You can also run this once in a while:

This is not everything you need to protect yourself. You also have to be smart. By this I mean you can never take your eye off the ball of safety for a second. There are just too many who have gone over to the darkside.

If you have any questions just let me know.
