You need to have a firewall installed on your computer. Activate the firewall that comes with windows, by clicking on it, in the control panel, or you also can get a free firewall, I use the free version of zone alarm. To find a free firewall, put "free firewall" into the Google search engine, and many different ones will appear. You also need an antivirus program, again, you can get a free one online by the same method. I use the free version of AVG, which is a very good antivirus program. You can have 3 or 4 anti-spyware programs installed on your pc. I like windows defender (free) spybot-search and destroy, (free) online search will find more free ones. Remember, you can only have one anti-virus program, and one firewall installed on your computer, or they will conflict with each other. You should at least have two anti-spyware programs on your computer, and run them at least once a week. I hope this will help you, Good Luck..
