Any other recommendations? &nbsp;I looked into getting Mcafee and they would not allow a character to be used in the password which makes me a bit unsecured. &nbsp;You would think that a security company would have foreseen that.

I tried Avast because a friend said it was a free product. &nbsp;It scanned my PC and found several problems but in order to fix them it wants me to upgrade (in other words pay money. &nbsp;If I'm going to pay for it I want to buy something that doesn't try to pull this king of sales gimmick. &nbsp;I would rather pay for something up front that I know will really work. &nbsp;Can someone recommend a good one? thanks

Need recommendation on buying a good cleanup program

Anti-virus software was originally developed to detect and remove computer viruses. However, with the proliferation of other kinds of malware, antivirus software started to provide protection from other computer threats. In particular, modern antivirus software can protect from malicious browser helper objects (BHOs), browser hijackers, ransomware, keyloggers, backdoors, rootkits, trojan horses, worms, malicious layered service providers (LSPs), dialers, fraud tools, adware and spyware. Some products also include protection from other computer threats, such as infected and malicious URLs, spam, scam and phishing attacks, online identity theft (privacy), online banking attacks, social engineering techniques, Advanced Persistent Threat (APT), botnets and DDoS attacks.
