Hi, I'm new to this forum, and I hope to help as many people as I can. So Hello!

What security programs do you guys recommend? Its my weakest point. I've heard of some, but I was never sure if its worth downloading and installing.

Nods32 is def worth a try but, you have to pay for it. If you want free stuff then go for AVG. Another good program to have is Spybot Search and Destroy. It scans registry and running processes. Also Ad-Aware is another good program to have.

If you want something free - AVG 8.0 is good.

AntiVir

Antivir if you're looking at free. Nod32 or Kaspersky if paying.
