    Anyone know of a good anti virus download?
    I am pretty sure I have a virus, weird things keep happening to my computer. A few months ago, I asked this same question and was directed to "spybot search and destroy". I don't think it is picking up the problem, or maybe it was bad advice. Any other free downloads that would help me would be great. I am a single mom that works from home, so I really depend on my computer. Thanks for your time!

    I have Avast. It's pretty good. I like it.

    avast! - Download antivirus software for spyware and virus protection

    I also used to have AVG. It's good too:

    I was going to suggest the same 2 that were mentioned above - both free and have good reputations
