| 498813 | 2006-11-13 18:06:00 | Hi everyone, I'm about to reformat my pc and re-instal windows XP as it's so full of spyware and virus's it's crazy. I haven't been using any anti-virus or internet security at all, so I was wondering what free security software/s is recomended after I instal windows? thanks :) |

| 498814 | 2006-11-13 18:30:00 | AntiVir for antivirus, see www.free-av.com. Spybot for antispyware. I don't know about a firewall, use XP SP2's firewall until other recommendations are posted. :) | pcuser42 (130) | ||

I sure hope you were expecting to have to do this after blatantly ignoring all the forum advice on the security subjects. |
