Yes, 8 seconds is the time needed for Sasser, the fastest worm in the internet, to infect your PC and after that, the rest is history. Malicious software can get into your system if you didn’t provide sufficient protection for your PC.

In this article, I will tell you how you can get free anti-virus, anti- spyware and firewall.

There is one software that provides both spyware nd virus removal software. It’s called Spyware Terminator. This software has a built-in anti-virus, the ClamAV. The ClamAV is an open source software and it’s free.

Other than the ClamAV, you can also try the Avast! Antivirus, AVG and Avira Antivir Personal. These are not built-in into the Spyware Terminator. However, you need to remember that one computer can only install one these or it will conflict with each other.

For anti-spyware software, you can try to use the SUPERAnti spyware Ad-Aware Pro, and Spybot Search and Destroy. Different with anti-virus, you can have more than one of these installed in your system.

Firewall is another software that you need in your system. It’s a software that monitors the ingoing and outgoing traffic from your PC. I recommend you to install either the Comodo Firewall Pro or ZoneAlarm Firewall.

All of these protection software are crucial in protecting yourself but, knowledge is the most important thing in fighting online threats. I saw people who have protection software but remove spyware from their PC every week due to the lack of knowledge on how to prevent their computer from getting infected by malicious software.

This shows that this people don’t have the knowledge on how they can get infected and therefore, they will get infected every week. So, learn what you can and try to avoid getting infected by online threats.

National Cyber Security Alliance in 2005 online safety study has reported that 81% of computer home users lack basic protection. This study shows that most people still don’t know about PC protection and even though some of them know about it, they don’t know where to find good software to protect their system.

In this article, I will tell you what are the anti-spyware and anti- viruses hat you can use for free and will give you the protection that you need.

Avast! Anti-virus is created by ALWIL Software and one of the top anti- viruses I like this the most because it has seven protections. Instant messaging, Internet mail, network shield, outlook/exchange, P2P shield, standard shield and web shield.

Another good software is AVG. AVG is created by Grisoft and you can get new virus definitions almost everyday. It also has a real-time protection against viruses. Install one of these software because you cannot have more than one Anti-virus in a system.

Now let us go to the anti- spyware olution. The first one is Spybot Search and Destroy and it’s also free software. This software is very good and it can remove almost all threats such as adware, spyware and keyloggers from your computer. It also has some real-time protection.

Ad-Aware 2007 is also one of my favorite software. The free version of this software lacks Ad-Watch, which is the real-time protection against spyware. However, owning the free version of this software is enough because you can use other software to provide your system a real-time protection for free.

The software that can provide you real-time protection against spyware are Spyware Terminator and Windows Defender. Both are free and both are good enough to give real-time protection for your system.

Anti- spyware as a different rule than Anti-virus es, not like anti- viruses you can install more than one anti-spyware in your system.

It’s up to you which software that you want to use because all the software that I recommend here are good and please remember that some of these free software can only be used for personal use only and not for commercial use.

Now the crux of the problem is this, although the messages are fake, your computer IS infected.  Personal Antivirus is a virus itself.  The program also uses spyware nd keyloggers to attempt to record sensitive information like passwords, credit card, and other private data.

How did Personal Antivirus get on your computer?  This could be due to numerous factors.  The most common is, you accidentally visited a malicious website that installed the virus on your system.  This can often happen without you even knowing, which is why I always recommend having some kind of real time antivirus software running at all times.

The problem with viruses like these is they often use random names and infect random locations.  This is more geared towards computer experts who have a good idea of what a malicious infection looks like.

For those who are not computer experts, there is hope for you as well.  Fortunately, there is a Personal Anti virus removal ool that can not only eliminate the virus, but also offers real time protection to fight future threats.

So how did Personal Anti Virus get onto your computer?  There are actually a number of reasons.  Such as:

Personal Anti Virus Removal

In order to remove Personal Anti Virus you need to get rid of all its elements at once.  For example:

Every infection is unique so there is no guarantee of what types and how many malicious files are on your CPU.  But make sure you remove the malware all at once, otherwise it will simply regenerate the next time you startup.

A manual removal of Personal Anti Virus can also harm your computer unless you are an expert in managing registry keys and searching for hidden files.

For non computer experts I recommend installing a Personal Anti Virus removal tool.  Specific software can help you remove Personal Anti Virus right away, and with real time protection, prevent future attacks from happening.
