Hoping you can help. A couple of years ago, I had a virus on my lappy and you recommended a free anti virus programme, which was great.


It has since disappeared from my lappy during updates. Would love to reinstall but can't remember the name!

ohh sorry.. not been around for a few days!


 


I use AVG ( anti virus)


 


malwarebytes ( for the stuff avg misses)


 


and c cleaner ( gets rid of all the stuff that is relativly harmless but not needed and slows the comp.  down)
