My computer is running a lot slower than normal and I think it might be due to a virus or spyware. I need something that is free and reliable to find/delete all the bad things! Thanks in advance :)

    "spybot search and destroy" is a good way to get rid of spyware.

    to get rid of a virus, try "avg free"

    Download the completely free Home edition. All you have to do is register your email. They do not send out information, or sell the lists. This is a great software.

    We use it daily at our repair shop. You can uninstall Norton and install avast and still pull off viruses and spyware!

    Norton. it can be used on three computers.
    these are the feature’s:
    full backup of WHOLE hard drive
    registry cleaner
    live virus and spy-ware update
    virus and spy ware scanner
    firewall
    identity theft protection(for shopping and untrusted websites)
    pop up blocker
    add on blocker
    optimize disk
    FREE on line support that’s like msn (talk live to agent to help with problems

    say you buy all in one security version 1 you can update to version 2 for free
    1 year protection
    filters downloads for virus and removes them
    network cleaner
    temporary cleaner(crap files that can store up to 10GB of crap) that’s right 10GB

    this is what i recommend. things like kasperky arent from trusted websites and i dont think you have support for it

    be protected from virus and have your computer at peak performance with norton!! PS. NO JOKE
