OK this is stupid question

[ageecee]

How do you know if your computer has Anti-Virus protection on your computer? Where do you check and see if you have it?

I have put up the firewall and installed the critical updates 2 days ago when the worm hit. Do i need the Anti-Virus protection and if so how much does it cost and what is the best ones to use?

Whats up Bud. Long Time no see.Still got your stable of horses? Haven't been in track thread in a while or made wager on horse since the derby.
Give it up when they started cutting pots so hard on tri's
Still have some funds in OTB I will save till Breeders Cup but once it gone will not refund account.

In answer to your question,probably cheapest and most used anti virus is Nortons. Cost bout $30. I was waiting for some of more knowledgable in that departmant here to answer your question but will give what little I have. Be well my friend.

first off, you need a program on your pc, and most come with some kind of program initially.
I use Norton, and there is a yearly fee, cant remember how much, to renew..
go to your program listing, see of any are there
three i can think of, are Norton, McAfee and Dr. Solomon
