Free Security Stuff Worth It? Complete Package Recommended Here Is!
NOTE: I am/was Webmaster of the BlueCollarPC .net/.org/.us [all
retired] now at permanent BlueCollarPC Security Helper Google
Site https://sites.google.com/site/pcsecurityhelper/

information sharing with integrity expected by the Community at
such Help Sites across the web, as expected and demanded. For

You wanted a free package, here you go. A Good Free Package of Security Softwares you can add FREE FREE FREE!
BUT READ THIS FIRST FIRST FIRST !!!!
You will have to understand what is said here. The reasons over 12 million Users/Visitors of my security site trust it/me is that I have always maintained the honesty of NEVER giving bad advice as unresearched and proven. NEVER posting links that lead to malicious infectious websites. NEVER posted any softwares that were bundled with malware or that were other than “Genuine Freeware” – which is the term I invented as meaning no continual or intermittent pop ups or ads or connected to any ad networks or “nagware” they now call it. Of course it is understood that “trialware” is known that it is a free version for a set time that maybe one week, fifteen or thirty days. I have NEVER promoted any “feel good” false sense and environment of computer security – which many commercial sites do for gain such as online magazines etc. One of our Creeds……
“NOTES…..
FUD “Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt, a marketing or political
strategy” …
FUD (definition) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FUD
There are many, many idiots and the corrupt in computer security
calling all things FUD (or snake oil – worthless product, does
nothing – such as industry wide security products as antivirus,
antispyware, personal firewalls etc.) . Some of the count are
actual cyber criminals socially engineering you ! Some advocate
never using a registry cleaner (which can not pass legal
compliance in IT Security) – yet they will advise you to use
antivirus and antispyware that does indeed remove malware
Windows Registry keys. We as intermediate and advanced users
have known for years and have used for years Registry products
that are an invaluable help to manually locate malware items and
as well identify reported malware by security products
(antivirus. antimalware, firewalls). These others are telling
you ‘feel-good’ false security lies as ‘sugar daddies’ or
ease-of-use ‘candy man’ tactics to be your “security guru” at
many forums. We do not promote any false sense of security or
environment. Those wishing to profit from calling security FUD
are what we use to call Judas Iscariot and are NOT welcomed here
or anywhere there is intelligence. ”
Originally, a “free package” as a handful of security softwares put together as “layers of security” used to be posted by just about all helpers. BUT this was the early days from 2002 on a few. Many products were not near 100 percent protection (antispyware) so it began to then download some extra free versions as stand alone on demand scanners without Real Time Protection activated (but upon purchase). These were added to one you would buy. What one didn’t get – the others would was the logic and advice. You put together your “security solution”.
This dramatically changed forever now and is no longer good advice to any user. The reason is that the cyber crime threatscape changed for the worst years ago. First they added to payloads malwares that would disable ANY free version on the computer. They could not be used. Then they also added malwares that would attack a paid version on the computer as not all antivirus/antispyware products were best quality that repelled easily these attacks upon them to disable them. Weaker or less than quality premium version (pay for) antimalware products (antivirus and antispyware) were successfully attacked and disabled by the newer malware payloads, which then installed at will the rest of their payloads being successful to disable security products – that would be trojans, spyware, rootkits, viruses, etc.
Here is just one example of this as a common threat
nowadays (zillions) :
Security software disabler Trojan
http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/S/security_software_disabler_Trojan.html
Through less than quality firewalls like butter….
Tunneling to circumvent firewall policy
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunneling_protocol#Tunneling_to_circumvent_firewall_policy
“Users can also use tunneling to “sneak through” a firewall,
using a protocol that the firewall would normally block, but
“wrapped” inside a protocol that the firewall does not block,
such as HTTP. If the firewall policy does not specifically
exclude this kind of “wrapping”, this trick can function to get
around the intended firewall policy.”
So in good conscience, there is no way to give the older advice of building some free package of security softwares and tell someone they are good to go. It is now plainly a LIE !!! And big BUT…. There are so many that do not have credit cards to buy products online. There are those that simply will not pay for protection like your thrifty Uncle example. So with these – they still need anything as beating a blank. It HAS to be drilled into their heads that a free version is only a scanner with NO protection and the pay product is necessary for Real Time Protection. This is Reactive and Proactive Security. Reactive security is using free scanners like AVG Free etc. with no Real Time Protection and are used AFTER a threat to the PC is perceived by the user. You scan and attempt to detect any threats and remove them. However, the damages are ALREADY done such as a destructive worm or virus and spyware as well, that all files they wished to get have already been copied and sent to the cyber criminals. TOO LATE NOW ! Proactive is using the product with Real Time Protection running 24/7. This BLOCKS infections before they occur – thus NO loss of personal data and/or actual destruction of the operating system or motherboard or chipsets or disk itself leaving the PC “bricked” – like a brick, doesn’t do anything and makes for a paperweight now. (Bricked is generally the term they use for mobiles toasted by malware).
There are just the FEW free products that offer Real Time Protection. If they refuse to pay or can’t, you have to then offer the “free package” and wish them good luck with the instructions to them about dangers. The free ones with Real Time Protection (heuristics) are simply no where near any best product is the problem aside trying to get something for free. You get what you pay for is the advice and of course you explain and add “Best Practices” advice for safe surfing as best possible (stay away from dark side of internet which is full of infections, etc) and not opening or clicking spam emails or attachments etc.
Having all this in mind, and not simply listing a package as my advice without explanation in full above (what I put my hand to), let’s go ahead and put together that free package…..
FIRST the user needs a product with Real Time
Protection. This is ALWAYS the first move/installation.
BEST FREE:
Comodo Free Anti Virus Software Internet Security
http://antivirus.comodo.com/
(Genuine Freeware)
Free Antivirus Software from Comodo eliminates viruses, spyware,
and other malware from desktops and networks fighting against
Internet security threats. Full Real Time Protection !
PRESS: Great News !

NEXT: (may be tad advanced for newbie)
Spyware Terminator [Genuine Freeware] (Antispyware
and antivirus. Real time protection added!)
http://www.spywareterminator.com/
Millions of users worldwide rely on Spyware Terminator, winner
of many awards and high ratings from industry experts and users.
Its free comprehensive protection is comparable to competitors’
paid versions! Originally with enterprise level Clam Antivirus
now has F-Prot Antivirus.
Spyware Terminator includes: http://www.spywareterminator.com/
* Fast spyware scanning
* 100% real-time protection
* HIPS protection
* Antivirus protection
* Multilanguage Support

View List of All Features »
http://www.spywareterminator.com/features/antispyware-features.aspx
LAST PLACE:
Microsoft Security Essentials…..(only
recommended for Real Time Protection and is now very weak
product)
http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/
Microsoft Security Essentials provides real-time protection for
your home PC, antivirus and antispyware real time shields.
SPECIAL NOTE / BASIC SECURITY….Microsoft:
Security Essentials is designed to be bottom of the
antivirus rankings. Microsoft has admitted Windows
users should install antivirus above and beyond its own
Security Essentials, describing its protection as merely a
“baseline” that will “always be on the bottom” of antivirus
software rankings.
http://www.pcpro.co.uk/news/security/384394/microsoft-security-essentials-is-designed-to-be-bottom-of-the-antivirus-rankings
HOWEVER it must be explained…. Generally, Do not use two antimalware products that have real time protection technology. These generally will conflict and worst. You can use these with free stand alone products that just scan, safely. DO NOT INSTALL ALL THREE OUT OF PARANOIA!!!! Pick one only that has Real Time Protection. These are that Proactive Defense.
BEST FREE STAND ALONE SCANNER – SCAN ON DEMAND (means
open it and click scan)…..
Emsisoft Antimalware
http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/antimalware/
Full antivirus and antispyware combined. This is the
best premium product in the world IMO (In My Opinion)
beating all others as Norton, ESET NOD32, Sophos etc. Download
it and choose either full version free for 30 days to
try, or simply click Free Version (without
Real Time Protection). With one of the above Real Time
Protection products, you can then use the Emsisoft free
version to perform a full scan at least once a week.
Heavy surfers – scan every or every other day! Great scan
options, you can do the quick scan check for malware running
right now on the PC (think you may got hit at a site) which
takes only a moment. You can choose Smart Scan which checks the
usual suspects in the usual places. And then Full Scan which
will scan the entire computer system and files. This takes over
a half hour with any product, the full scan, but should be done
even by advanced users at least once a week or bi-monthly.

NAVIGATE – JUST PLUG IN AND LAUNCH EEK AND SCAN

Trend Micro RUBotted (free)
http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US/tools/security_tools/rubotted
Malicious software called Bots can secretly take control of
computers and make them participate in networks called
“Botnets.” These networks can harness massive computing power
and Internet bandwidth to relay spam, attack web servers, infect
more computers, and perform other illicit activities.
Security experts believe that millions of computers have already
joined Botnets without the knowledge of their owners. By using
remotely-controlled computers, the criminals in charge of the
Botnets try to remain anonymous and elude authorities seeking to
prosecute them. RUBotted monitors your computer for suspicious
activities and regularly checks with an online service to
identify behavior associated with Bots. Upon discovering a
potential infection, RUBotted prompts you to scan and clean your
computer.

checking to see if any drivers have been updated recently and
either
roll them back to the old driver or see if an even newer driver
is
available (the vendor may have released a driver to fix the
