A short, practical summary tied to the thread: clarified the goal as protecting a personal computer from malware. Replies from and pointed toward antivirus tools while rightly flagged licensing concerns for free products in commercial settings. The best approach is layered: prevention, detection, and recovery — not a single product.

Immediate, high‑impact controls to implement now:

  • Keep the operating system and applications automatically updated.
  • Run endpoint protection that includes real‑time scanning and periodic full scans; choose vendors shown in independent tests.
  • Enable the host firewall and router firewall, change default router credentials, and apply firmware updates.
  • Use a non‑administrator daily account, strong unique passwords, and multi‑factor authentication for important accounts.
  • Disable automatic execution of removable media (autorun), avoid unknown attachments/links, and limit browser plugins.
  • Maintain regular backups following the 3-2-1 rule (3 copies, 2 media types, 1 offsite/offline).

If a machine is suspected of compromise: isolate it from networks, take filesystem images if recovery is needed, run trusted offline rescue scanners or bootable rescue media, restore from a known‑good backup if remediation is uncertain, and document the steps taken.

For small organizations or schools, confirm product license terms before deploying free editions; enterprise deployments should use centrally managed endpoint protection, patch management, and logging. For guidance on structured risk management and vendor selection, consult the NIST Cybersecurity Framework and independent AV test results such as AV‑TEST for current product comparisons (NIST Cybersecurity Framework, AV‑TEST independent test results).

Member Avatar for malcolmsmith26

Use anti-virus software. Google this and you will find lots, some are free some are not. AVG is a good bet. We use this in the school I support and it works fine for us.

Member Avatar for DimaYasny

AVG is not free for commercial use. if you use the free version in a school, you are breaking the law

Member Avatar for malcolmsmith26

You didn't say it was for commercial use. We have licenses for this software as we are commercial. The home version is free. We also use a e-trust which is supplied from county and is free for us.
