Be careful with that McAfee program if you use a Windows OS (operating system). I use a Windows XP OS, and the security center and McAfee programs kept interfering with each other. That slowed my computer down considerably.Use Lavasoft AdAware SE Personal and McAfee Virus Scan(Free 30 day Trial, but it's the best out there).

Just running Virus Scan on your drives shouldn't conflict. If you run their Security Center, it may conflict, but I don't know why you'd be using a Windows Firewall anyway...

Serious.
Oh and "HijackThis!" It's a standalone .exe and not for nubs, so be careful.

...don't use Windows Security Center?
(It has the word "Windows" in it)
(-- before you yell at me: Yes, some of us are forced to use Windows by our parents, but if you take everything off your computer that it doesn't need (my "Program Files" folder has 6 Microsoft-related folders in it) it will run like never before. Almost as good as a Mac does) XD
...and ideas are bulletproof. "

Stop downloading porn?
Serious.
Agreed with Tait.
I've been using computers since 1997 (High-tech Windows 95), and have yet to catch a so-called "virus" or spyware or adware of any kind.
Almost EVERY person I've spoken to that had an "infected" computer (including some who I've worked with in a church) had admitted to visiting or downloading files from pronography-related web sites (deliberately misspelled). It's the first question I ask anyone who tells me that their computer is "down".
I once had an infected Word document in a used laptop I was assigned to, but the commercial stuff wiped it out quite handily. I have Ad-aware, Spybot Search and Destroy, and Spyware Doctor in my current PCs, and they keep most of the annoying pop-ups off of the few places I visit that shoot pop-ups at me (usually wholesale sites and other smaller sites that want to sell you something.)
I have two Mac Minis as my office computers, so that goes without saying....virus free.

All of these programs you can get for free besides the anti-virus.
I concur on the pron comment. It can mess up your computer and is a bad habit to develop.

Yeah, that's what I meant. The sceurity center for Windows has got to be the slowest thing on the goddamn planet. Programs like Spybot Search and Destroy and Spyware Doctor are more reliable, faster, and free to download and try....don't use Windows Security Center?
