STOP – Hackers, spyware and virus’s forever
I have a nearly unlimited budget for anti-virus, spyware and firewall software… however, I still use these free tools over all the rest. Imagine the best protection on your computer for FREE.
Follow these simple instructions: FIRST disconnect your computer from your internet connection. Then, UNINSTALL all antivirus and firewall software. After that, install Sygate Firewall (reboot), install Avast Antivirus (reboot), and last install Spyware Doctor .
Connect back to the internet and run “updates” immediately” to get the most protection (reboot). After that run a FULL scan using Avast Antivirus and Spyware Doctor . I will guarantee that these programs out perform anything you have used.
Remember, you have to register Avast Antivirus for it to keep working - IT’s FREE.
