Don't be an online fraud victim
Martin Lewis22/ 7/2008
VIRUSES don't just wreak havoc with your PC, but can cost you serious cash.
If you own a computer but don't have up-to-date anti-virus software and other online security, such as a firewall and anti-spyware, you need to be very careful.
I can vouch for the AVG vnti- virus. I have been using it for 10 years and it works,in fact I have friends in the states who dumped their purchased Norton because of all the gliches its throws up and opted for free avg and now swear by it after I reccomended it too them.

Zonealarm also do an antivirus with their firewall which is only about 13£ a year ,the best anti spyware i've come across (free ones that is) is Spybot and Adaware2008.
Whatever you use though especially if using free software is to either download it directly or from Download.com which is guarenteed spyware and virus free.

Windows Defender is another, but I prefer my operating system to be free all having to use all these add ons, which is why I sold my Vista PC and bought a Mac. The best money saving tip Martin could have come up with would be to consider OS X instead of Windows.
