Anti-virus?

alby800
Go to solution Solved by alby800,

Its not an anti-virus but its to stop popup adds which is one of the major complaints of the op.

 

I use AVG.  I have the paid version but i use the free version on my dads computer.

thanks, I now have AVG and Ad block plus

What is a good FREE anti-virus, I forgot to do this when I built my PC and I need it now. I am getting random websites that pop-up randomly asking to do a survey and sin stuff and it is really annoying, andy ideas?

AVG is the one I use. I eventually bought the full version but the free works great. :)

There are no really good free options. Get AVG if you absolutely can't afford it.

Surveys are not viruses...

I get them from like BestBuy and Sony.

I would use MalwareBytes though, great. Also Windows Defender scan is good.

Use adblock plus?

 

Peerblock is something to look into as well.

It's not bad per se. I just blocks all ads and takes ad revenue away from anyone who uses them to make money.

You can whitelist this site, so he'll still get his ad revenue.

AVG free anti virus is really good if you don't have enough money to spend on anti virus, it has free anti virus and tunes up your pc and clean unnecessary files.

You can whitelist sites, such as LTT like i have, and still give the site ad revenue.

 

Other sites which i want nothing to do with can bugger off tbh.

Really? I had no idea....

This was the question at hand and though he said he wanted to get rid of popups you weren't answering the entire question. Also if you wish to insult use a real one and do make up random and non existent words. :)

That's not true at all.

 

I would use Avast free version, I find the UI to be a lot better than AVG's, and it has really good detection rate as well. By far the best free anti-virus in my opinion.
