Greetings fellow ISSers.
The following is a bunch of links and information that I found useful to maintain and protect your important investment called your computer.
Since everyone always has questions about "What anti-virus do I download?" or "OMG my computer is getting H4X3D?" I have created this thread to specifically serve to your desires to protect yourselves.
I didn't personally compile these lists so I will give proper credit to the orginal composers.

I'm not super great with security so Junkies gotta back me up with this. Wink

Hope this helps Very Happy

Also...another program: Kaspersky Internet Security.
Very nice program but you would have to pay for it!

I personally use NOD32 for my AV and it gets the job done. Probably the best anti-virus I've ever used. Kaspersky is good as well.

Added some Software Review links at the top for the best paid programs you can get.

There should be a section for free internet security software too. I personally prefer Kaspersky Internet Security; it captures many things Norton, AVG, mcafee, and Avast doesn't. ESET NOD is also very good
