I just recently got the internet on my main computer and I'm interested in downloading a good anti-virus program and a pop-up killer. If anyone knowns a few good ones I could download, could you please tell me. Thanks :cool:

Google Toolbar is a good popup killer, or you could just do what I do and use Netscape.

Norton is the best anti-virus software, look into getting that. McAfee is pretty good also.

www.mozilla.org to download firefox (A better webbrowser than IE with a built-in pop-up blocker)

http://www.grisoft.com/ for AVG anti-virus

All free

AVG free anti virus is great. It scores just as well and sometimes better than Norton or Macafee.

As for pop ups... I use the Google toolbar. It's a real time saver and it comes with a built in pop up blocker. There is also a program called Pop Up Stopper if you just want to block pop ups without adding a toolbar to your browser. Hell, use them both at the same time if you want. They are both free.
