RECOMMENDED: Remove Norton Anti-Virus, McAfee Anti-Virus or any other common anti-virus program you have because they are poor defense against most viruses and spyware because they are too well known by hackers.  It is easy to corrupt their protection techniques leaving you vulnerable to many types of infections.

**The author of this site does not recommend most popular anti-virus software and specifically any of the above software to protect your PC.   Proceed at your own risk but we expect you will get better results from the recommended "free" product than you will from these paid solutions.  AVG is a product of AVG Technologies and is would be an adequate solution for most computer users.
