Every computer connected to the Internet has the risk of being hacked, being infected with spyware, or being infected with viruses. In order the prevent this, you need two types of programs. All of these programs can be gotten free on the internet.

The following programs are free and offer great protection. I personally have been using all of these programs for a number of years, and have not had a single virus or piece of spyware at all. I highly recommend using these, especially since they do not put a heavy load on your computer (system resources).

Anti-Spyware: Spybot Search and Destroy

Antivirus: AVG Anti-Virus
