ANTI-VIRUS
We now use the free antivirus product provided by Microsoft.  It is simple, straightforward, and does not hog the resources of your machine as bad as most. Under Windows_8, it is called Windows Defender. Prior OS's should use MSE (Microsoft Security Essentials). If using Windows_8, go to Control Panel, choose Actions, and be sure that it is enabled.

To load MSE on pre-Win_8 systems, just google "Download MSE".

ANTI-SPYWARE
We use the free version of SuperAntiSpyware.
It is available at:  www.superantispyware.com
