• FREE Microsoft Windows Update. We cannot emphasize enough how important it is to keep your Windows software current and updated against security risks.
• WARNING! If you are using a version of windows older than Windows XP (Service Pack 3), we strongly recommend that you upgrade to a new operating system. Microsoft no longer supports Windows 95, 98, ME, 2000 or XP (pre-service pack 3) with security updates. Your computer is at risk of virus and trojans if you use these older Windows versions!

  You may try AVG Free if Avast does not install properly. AVG is also free for personal use.
• We DO NOT recommend any of the following, but you may use them if you like. All are fee-based and require a subscription:
