-- Posted by iBritt at 3:40 pm on Feb. 7, 2008 ...says the exclamation point on my taskbar. Does anyone know of any free program that can provide security for my computer? -- Posted by Dissilusioned at 3:41 pm on Feb. 7, 2008 AVG free, blates. -- Posted by Darkane at 3:41 pm on Feb. 7, 2008 http://free.grisoft.com/ and http://www.tucows.com/preview/213160 -- Posted by Meep123 at 3:41 pm on Feb. 7, 2008 AVG but I'm pretty sure that exclamation point will be there anyway. That's just windows being stupid me thinks. -- Posted by Micus at 3:43 pm on Feb. 7, 2008 AVG so good -- Posted by OLPFan200 at 3:45 pm on Feb. 7, 2008 Quote: from Meep123 at 6:41 pm on Feb. 7, 2008 AVG but I'm pretty sure that exclamation point will be there anyway.

Avast is pretty good. -- Posted by PhoenixFire613 at 3:46 pm on Feb. 7, 2008 AVG -- Posted by semibittersweet at 3:47 pm on Feb. 7, 2008 Avast! is good. -- Posted by iwashere85 at 3:48 pm on Feb. 7, 2008 Avast, ZoneAlarm, AVG They will all do the job. Just download only 1. This should help you out. -- Posted by FlamesofJustice at 3:52 pm on Feb. 7, 2008 It could be one of those pop-ups that like to lie to unsuspecting users. Unless if its windows itself telling you that there's something wrong with the computer, ignore any pop-ups. And get firefox. Internet explorer is unsafe and prone to hacking. Firefox is not. -- Posted by DefaultTo0 at 3:54 pm on Feb. 7, 2008 What part of your computer does the exclamation mark say isn't protected?  E.g. automatic updates, anti-virus, firewall, UAC, etc... -- Posted by OLPFan200 at 3:54 pm on Feb. 7, 2008 Quote: from FlamesofJustice at 6:52 pm on Feb. 7, 2008 And get firefox.

FireFox has been caught with it's pants down a few times, but it at least address the issues and solves the problem faster than M$: IE. -- Posted by iBritt at 4:16 pm on Feb. 7, 2008 Quote: from DefaultTo0 at 6:54 pm on Feb. 7, 2008 What part of your computer does the exclamation mark say isn't protected?  E.g. automatic updates, anti-virus, firewall, UAC, etc... It's not one of those spyware things, but it's beside the clock where it shows you the things that are connected to your computer, whether or not you have internet connection
