My computer is a virus magnet. I've had over 3 infections in the past two weeks. No one in the house looks at porn or anything like that. The main sites visited are Facebook, Yahoo, Deviantart, and Youtube. Occassionally I browse the internet for college information and wedding rings. I don't understand why my computer is always getting these viruses. I have a firewall installed but it's poop and doesn't help at all.
Basically, I'm looking for a really good virus protection program that will block infections WHILE I'm browsing the internet, not something to just remove the viruses AFTER they've already been installed on my computer. Help me please.
