Thank you for this post Chad! Great info!

I use Firefox, and I love it. I don't even open Internet Explorer.

I also use AVG, I really like that software a lot. It's easy to use, and it doesn't have a lot of pop-ups. Best of all, it's free!

hey yo...

i just installed, Zone alarm, wow strange i prevented my self from accessing the internet altogether. lol funniest thing about it is, it asks you to go to a step by step movie tutorial for it, but you need to access the internet to do it. and it blocks all activity from the net on installintg it. hahaha

funni stuff but i fixed it got it all undercontrol.

Thanks heaps Chad, and every one else.

Good stuff my friends. : >

I just wanted to thank you for the tips. Many of those programs really helped. People don't realise how important all these programs are until they get caught by a virus or spyware themselves.

I added a lot of new free software, security and optimization links for you folks. Enjoy.

Chad, you are the bomb. Thanks for this. I also use Firefox, and haven't looked back. Internet Explorer doesn't even open. BTW, would it be safe to delete IE from my PC? I tried Mozilla's Thunderbird, but couldn't get use to it, so I'm back on Outlook for e-mail. I use Avast Anit-virus for Outlook. Please tell me it's ok

God bless you Chad for helping us protect our PC's. Any advice on how I can speed it up a bit? LOL

Sister, I posted "Computer & Internet Optimizations:" in my original post. You can use that to speed up your system.

Heh, I was just looking for a few things like this.
Thank you very much for putting together such a comprehensive list.

I think this is wonderful !
Praise the LORD!

Thanks Chad,
For me I use an internet cleaner and erazer site. It gives you a menu with everything to be cleaned instead of hunting for it on your computer. Its especialy good for those who don,t know what to dump for fear of dumping the wrong thing.

I also use adaware pro.

Both these sites are not free, But not expensive either. Just one time payments.

I also use avg free. Great site. I just wish it did not have to update every day Now I need protection for my children, That does not use as much space as NIS :-)

I modified the original post to remove a few old/non-existant software, correct some links (thanks AMK).
