    Are the free anti-virus programs any good . I have Trend Micro PC cillin installed now. I do my banking online and was wondering if I had to buy a program.


    Thank You!

    Welcome to WindowsBBS :)
    Yes - I would recommend Microsoft Security Essentials and Avast - in that order.

    You posted in the XP forum - this is not an XP issue except in that you should be running SP3 for maximum security. If you are not please note ....
    Your thread moved to General Security with title edit.
