Free spyware programs to download are Spybot S&D, SuperAntiSpyware, Ad-Aware 2007 and AVG. Most popular free antivirus programs are AVG Anti-Virus, Avira AntiVir , Avast etc. Check out http://usefulinfo-comp.blogspot.com/ for more information.

kaspersky is a really good anti virus but can of course eat away your ram & system resources. I suggest spybot. it has active system shield & immunization + it's probably the most famous anti malware software known to man kind with its powerful scanning technology & signatures. a site called aiotoolkit.com has all of the best free utilities with direct links for instant downloads along so much more apps that are free.

F-Secure's 2010 package offers up to 60% faster scanning and 70% less memory usage. There is a free scanner available on their website as well as a free 30-day trial of their package. Their website is fsecure.com, the link to the scanner is http://www.f-secure.com/en_US/security/security-la...

I have been using Avast for years, and it does an excellent job of catching potential issues BEFORE they become a problem, without slowing my computer's performance. You can get it at www.avast.com.

Avast + Malwarebytes works well.

Whatever you do stay away from Norton. It is very over rated.

Go here for details on the good free ones. They are all lighter on the ram then kasper?

AVG is a good one, and it's free. I hear Avira is good too.
