I have downloaded the 30 day trial version of NOD32 Antivirus, I have a popup blocker with earthlink internet service. What else do you all recommend I get for my computer that I use for the internet. It is not hooked up all the time, I have a dial up and only dial up when I need on the internet.

Thanks

Security & Virus forum.. top of the page:

"Click here for some useful security tools"

Ad-aware and Spybot are a good place to start.


Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience

I would install a firewall in addition to the antivirus and antispyware programs.
