How do you stop anti-virus/spyware ads?

I really want this to stop it's like every 30 seconds a "warning" will pop up telling me that my computer is infected but I downloaded a spyware scanner and a virus scanner and it hasn't stopped. PLEASE HELP!!!



How do you stop anti-virus/spyware ads?internet



These days you need a whole lot more than just a virus protection. Only about 15% of all malware is viruses. The rest is worms, trojans, phishing schemes, spyware, etc.



Here's some ideas to make Internet Security Suite (securitycenter) for free. Free is always the best.



--------------------------------------...



1. For your Anti-Virus......(Always use only 1 A-V...You must NEVER use more than one anti-virus, Even an expired anti-virus can cause a major conflict...(did I mention that you MUST uninstall any old anti-virus products?)



For your anti-virus needs, I would suggest Avira AntiVir庐 PersonalEdition Classic. It has excellent heuristics, a virus detection rate that is better than many of "paid-for" anti-virus programs and is light on using your computer's resources. And did I mention that it's free!

Avoid an anti-virus called AVG (free version). It is wildly popular but has poor virus detection rates.

2. For your Anti-Adware and Anti-Spyware needs...............(use at least 1 anti-spyware, but 2 is OK). Do a scan with it on a regular basis.
