Anti-virus and anti-virus programmes are not the same. I was asking
about anti-spyware programmes. You can find composites that cover both
aspects.

With regard to anti-spyware programmes you will find that some have free
versions not providing real time protection with corresponding paid
versions providing real time protection. You need to know exactly what
you have installed.

Hope  this helps.

You have to bear with me, as I'm not as computer literate as you and
Daave. For example I thought these were the same: Anti-virus and anti-
virus programmes.

This is what I think I have; a free version of AVG, Spybot, A-Squared
and Comodo anda free trial version of Avast and Kapersky. If I'm not
getting this or other things right please explain them to me so that
were talking on the same page.

Understand that I'm on a rather limited fixed income and this is why I
went with these free versions but if you and Daave could recommend a
good virus protection program such as Kapersky that would protect my
system better then I suppose I can pay for it although if I can get
around having to pay for it I would rather do that.
