Virus protection?

Avast is what I'm currently running, it's free, it works, but the popups can get annoying.

What kind of pop-ups? Reminders to update, or that it saved your computer against an attack?

I use Avira Antivir Personal which is free. I do get the constant upgrade popups but I can tolerate these to prevent a virus.

Kim - is there any way I can remote in to that other computer? (The sick one). The best malware program I have found is malwarebytes. Just remember to update it (third tab) before you run it every two weeks or so.

We use malwarebytes at work to get the stuff that sneaks by sophos. At home we have Spybot Search and Destroy, as well as malwarebytes.

I use AVG2011. It's free and updates are automatic with no pop-ups. Been using this for over a year, after I got rid of the dreaded Norton which was garbage, and I've never had a problem.

I had malware bytes on it (you put it there ) and I ran it reguarly. The computer just stopped working and now I can't even turn it on. So now he has a new one.
