Whats a good free virus protector and music downloading site that are good together?

I want to be able to download songs and movies on my computer but I don't want to have a bunch of viruses. I've asked before about music downloading sites that are efficient but won't give you a virus but all people say is that there aren't any unless you have good virus protection or you want to pay for them. So I want to know what will be good virus protection for downloading on a good music site that's free.

    For the most part all free music download sites have lots of viruses, so you can't find a site with free music downloads that don't have any viruses. A free download program for anti virus is AVG antivirus software, you can also purchase Trend Micro anti virus software, which it's like 40.00 bucks. I would try the AVG anti virus it's free, but it's recommended that you get the Trend Micro because it's better i talked to computer technician he said it's one of the best, Norton is very popular but it's not really good. Any how I hope this was very helpful for you.

    AVG, Kapersky, OneCare, Norton... those are all good antivirus programs. When it comes to downloading music, you are best off not downloading a program that lets you get songs, as this is where many viruses get passed around. A safe place to get free music is the Windows Myspace page. You don't need a program to download the music- you can rip the songs right off the page. It is definitely one of the safest ways to go.

    Napster is pretty good. It's like $13 a month for unlimited downloads. But the first week is free. So u should get a list of songs u like then download them for free. But DON'T USE LIMEWIRE. It crashes computers and gives viruses.

    There is no good free one. Sorry. They are not only illegal, but puts your computer at a high risk of infection. Even if you have a good virus protection software you are not 100% safe.

    Took me two days once to remove an infection, because my sister used limewire. And the computer was very protected.

    If you want music and movies. I suggest you get them legally. Otherwise your computer is going to crash and data will be lost.

    My suggestion is to use AVG Free Edition, and as for music downloading it is very illegal so I would suggest using a program called Spotify, you need an account and you can listen to any music off it, you can't download but you can buy if you like the track that much. To listen to it is free though. And spotify is completely virus free. As for movies you can use Megavideo i do believe for films. This isn't completely legal and I don't condone it but I know people that do and say it is very good =)

    Hope that helps

    Avast home is quite good and free, but it virus protections cant help you that much if you download the viruses yourself.

    try torrents and before downloading read through the comments to see if anyone found a cirus

    The best one's are not FREE. The free ones like AVG or Avast doesn't have any real time protection. I would advice you to get the best AV like Kaspersky and then go for your music downloads.
