What type of protection can a person put on their home computer to prevent uninvited malware, postings, phishing, etc.?
I'm looking to get, from Comcast or another provider, something to download that will protect my computer from downloading unwanted junk, emails, background files that prevent and slow down my computer while on the web. Is there a software or service that can alert me to something that is only interesting in getting on my computer to sell me something every time I click

Hi friends,
According to me, avast antivirus is more protective for a home device. I also use this antivirus and I know it is capable of the fight against viruses and protecting your computer data: https://babasupport.org/apple/itunes-tech-support-number/309.

Comcast provides Norton Security Suite fee of charge to their Internet subscribers. Search for it after you login to their site.
I use Malbytes for the anti malware.

Answers are good. Paying for the coverage garners about another 5% of possible malware/viruses, so I use free stuff:
*AVG Antivirus
*Spybot Adware
*Malwarebytes
This last one is excellent; has Windows safe mode capability, so once infected you can use this to get about anything. Keep updates current.

Lets focus on your needs. You want increased security. You have been installing software to solve the problem. It has not worked. Try a fresh approach. Rather than pushing on a string by loading and reloading countness software updates, deal with it at a new layer. How about the whole house? Just like a basic utility, like water. Security as a service as it were. That is the way to dramatically reduce the quantity of unwanted junk, emails, background files that prevent successful app execution and slow sown your computer while on the web. #liberteks

There is no single product that at the moment gives you full protection.
You need to have a combination of protection installed.
Installing it is insufficient, once installed it needs to be updated and scanned on a regular basis.
I recommend allocating about half an hour weekly to checking and updating all your security.
1 - A Good uninvasive Anti*-Virus Although FREE anti virus programmes are ok you will get better protection with a paid version of the same.
Norton and McAfee are very memory hungry so can cause older PC's to slow down dramatically.
As well as ant virus I recommend a good Spyware removal programme like Spybot or MalwareBytes but once installed these need to be regularly updated and scanned to stay protected.
Lastly Windows update need to be run regularly as automatic update miss many vital updates

Kaspersky is the best product for home PCs which also does not slow down the processing much like Norton.
