[QUOTE="zzae, post: 295779, member: 29717"] TwinHeadedEagle, It does concern me that my computer has been infected for the second time in 2 weeks. The last infections was the fake google chrome processes in task manager 2 weeks ago. I am wondering if I am making some major mistake(s). I have had this computer for more than 4 years with Norton Internet Security and had never had problems like this until these 2 infections recently. My internet usage (sites I visit, files I download...etc) hasn't changed over this time. My Norton membership will expire in one month and am thinking of getting a free anti-virus software. I have been reading some of the main articles for beginners to educate myself on protection from malware. But there seems to be a wide variety of opinions of what kind of free anti-virus software is best. You recommended Malwarebytes when you last helped me. Another expert here recommends Comodo. Some users on other anti-malware forums swear by AVG or AVAST. And there are some who say all these are useless and only paid software like Norton can offer the best protection. It would be really nice to know your thoughts/opinions on these questions. Thank you for taking your time. [/QUOTE]
