Hi List, Can anyone recommend a good virus protection to purchase for my Dell computer. I don't trust any sites to download a virus program. thanks, robert rothenbuhler

If you are using anything other than Windows 8, I would recommend Microsoft Security Essentials. I have used it on my Windows XP computer and my laptop with Windows 7 and have not found anything better, including paid programs. Unfortunately, it is not available for Windows 8.l so I am using Avast now, which is also a great free anti virus program. It will run a boot scan when you first install it and assure you that there are no virus already on your computer.
