Download what is the best anti virus software for windows xp and dsl internet?
Question by Patty L: what is the best anti virus software for windows xp and dsl internet?
my anti virus expired i need a new one with a good firewall can you tell me a great one and why is it great
Best answer:
Answer by Ed
If you are getting your DSL threw sbc or att/yahoo they have a great set up threw norton, “free”, including firewall. If your internet provider does not offer this I prefer Norton, but other people have preferences different than mine, but with Norton cost about $ 40 a year. I prefer to pay for a good anti virus protection, which includes mail and downloads and some one to contact if you have a problem.
Hope this helps

Answer by classic
AntiVirGear is a rogue anti-spyware application designed to scare you into purchasing AntiVirGear’s full version by showing misleading warning messages on your Taskbar. AntiVirGear is usually downloaded and installed via ZLOB/MediaAccess Codec installer from an adult site. AntiVirGear scans your computer and uses false positives in order to frighten you into buying the full program. Although AntiVirGear may appear to be harmless, it is a security risk to your computer and it may actually expose you to more security threats by installing other malicious applications. Home site for this fake anti-spyware application is www.Antivirgear.com
There are 2 ways to remove it… both are free.
