I'm getting a new computer. My current computer got a nasty virus when I first went online with it. Luckily my old roommate was a tech geek and was able to get rid of the virus and get me back on track.
So my question is what programs and utilities (firewall, anti-virus, anti-spyware, etc.) should I install on my new computer before I go online? I'm cheap so freeware would be the best bet for me. I heard AVG is a good free anti-virus software. Thoughts?
