Perhaps your ISP has some free software ... I'm no expert, but I find the online protection suite I get free from Rogers keeps my computer running fine.

if you want to start from the scratches, back up your important files to dvd disc or external memory card or storage.

then have your os system in cd, insert and follow.

Microsoft also offers their "Security Essentials" software which is free and basically runs itself.

I think once you install Microsoft Security Essentials it takes over from Defender. I run ESET Security Suite myself so I'm trying to remember based on the netbook I set up for a friend.

Actually, I probably have to go see the little thing again, this person is really bad about updating and even with everything set to Automatic (still manages to somehow miss updates Huh)
