comp/net virus protection

Shawnee123 · 01-25-2009, 04:32 PM

I haven't had this computer online for about 3 years.

I wasn't sure what I would need for virus protection because I just figured I'd probably just load AVG.

I actually have avast antivirus, and it immediately updated. I THINK that was put on by my IT buddy at my old job who did some work on my computer.

So is that good? What about spyware and adware protection? Do I need something separate? I know spybot is out there for free.

The Cable Guy put in a wireless thingy...and I'm getting about 54 Mbps. Is that good?

Any techie opinons or advice appreciated.
