Hi, I've just changed to Vista Home Premium with a new machine. I was using AVG for anti-virus and Zonealarm as a firewall (your recommendation last time!) Can you please tell me what you'd recommend for use with Vista for best protection? Thanks again for your help! W
If you are willing to pay, then I would recommend using the AntiVir suite as turtledove said. I recommend downloading the demo first to see how you like the feel of it and how it will run with your system.
If you are looking for free, then I recommend the following:
MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware has a free and paid version. The free version will only allow you to scan on-demand. I recommend doing a full scan once every few weeks to make sure there is nothing.
Spybot Search & Destroy has awesome, free realtime protection and can make your system quite a bit less vulnerable.
For free security software, I'd use Avira Antivir, WinPatrol, a HOSTS file, SpywareBlaster, ZoneAlarm (Comodo if you're more advanced at the computer), and MBAM as a backup malware scanner.
One word of caution... Of late, I have seen a number of Vista systems that were blocked from internet access by third-party firewalls and/or overzealous security suites. I saw three of these just yesterday. Don't overdo.
