I have used AVG Anti Virus, Zone Alarm Firewall, Spy-bot Search and Destroy and Ad Aware both spyware killers for years. They are all free for personal use and I have had no trouble with Viruses Trojans etc. AVG does not slow the system down as much as some other products and Zone Alarm allows a lot of personal configuration unlike the Windows Firewall. They can all be downloaded from the following linkhttp://www.computeractive.co.uk/. On the home page select downloads and then the appropriate category.I also use Windows Defender from the Microsoft site. It is safe to use two anti-spy products but never use more than one A/V as it can cause conflicts. You should run A/V and anti spy weekly. Hope this helps

I personally recommend Spyware Doctor. It washes my computer the best.
Malware is another form of spyware and they both can load up your computer and slow it down. You need to get this spyware/adware program loaded up and do a full scan to get rid of this. here is one that I recomend and other also and it FREE. (http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adwa…
Nothing is really “FREE” but you can use some tricks to get rid of those suckers. Download StopZilla and with the trial period it will tell you where the viruses are but will not remove them. All you need to do is write it down and remove it manually. But be careful doing that. Some registry entries may affect your computer if you do them wrong.
SIMPLE STEPS TO
DOWNLOADING
VIRUS & SPYWARE PROTECTION
AVG FOR VIRUS PROTECTION
AVG anti FOR SPYWARE, MALWARE, ROOTKITS
BOTH FOUND AT http://www.grifsoft.com or go to yahoo and enter in search box – AVGfree and the first or 1. Item that is listed is the web site for you to go to.
Once there you will see advertisement for both free & paid plus updates, at the left upper side you’ll see download for free basic protection, click the orange download bar and this will get the free program for AVG virus
Under that picture you will see the words AVG anti-spy ware Free edition the writing is in orange, click it for your download of AVG anti spy ware program
If for any reason someone just needs the updates to the current program and cannot download on their machine, a person a look to bottom right corner of page and find them, put on jump drive and just plug in and AVG will find it when you click update on the program. (this is just for the virus program)
Now for your next layer of protection download the following also but remember you can only run one program at a time, but each of these will fine things the other didn’t.
Spybot search & destroy found at http://www.safer-networking.org
Superantispyware found at http://superantispyware.com
And finally go to this web site for this program to clean up your internet history, cookies, browser history, recycle bin, IE Explorer, etc all the boxes can be preset and basically in 4 steps you can clean computer. It does so well that disc clean usually only will find 32-100MB after its donehttp://www.snapfiles.com go to the freeware section, look for Internet Cleanup, then look for the software called IE Privacy Keeper
Last but not least do Defrag at least 2 times in a row even if program says not needed, as XP Defrag program isn’t the best and needs to be run more often.
And also go to http://www.glaryulitilies.com for free registry repair programs or to http://www.snapfiles.com and to their freeware section to find them also.
