free antivirus, anti-spyware, ant-malware, anti-adware?
I am looking for free antivirus software at the present time. Because, The $160(or so Comcast claims) packages of Norton Security Suite 4 and, Norton Internet Security, cause blue screen errors on my computer.
I know about SpyBot and, AdAware. But those are only two categories mentioned above.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Car05161967,
Avoid SpyBot and Ad-Aware. Both are terrible programs. I recommend a combination of Malwarebytes, SuperAntiSpyware, and Avast!. All are 100% free.

Excerpt: 180SearchAssistant is an adware program that displays pop-ups based on a user’s browsing habits. It has been claimed the product presents ads under some circumstances and that it contacts its maker’s site without user permission, leading to it being classified as spyware by some third parties. The 180SearchAssistant now more often comes under the name Zango . Zango was normally bound to the not-as-effective spyware in the 180-family, called 180 Solutions.

However, it is distributed with Limewire Misleading Pop-up If removed by some types of anti-spyware programs, a window opens saying that a third-party application has removed Zango Search Assistant, probably without one’s knowledge of doing so, and that computer settings can be critically damaged unless Zango gets reinstalled. One will have 3 buttons below that text. The first option saying to reinstall Zango, the second to delete remaining files and the third saying to remind the user later. This is the flip button trick, where all the buttons do the same thing (in this case reinstall Zango). The right thing to do in that case is instead to temporarily |
