My friend's anti virus norton trial w/ pc is going to expire. Is there a way to get free protec

For Viruses, I suggest that you look at Antivir:

http://www.free-av.com/

AVG:

http://free.grisoft.com/doc/1

and avast!:

http://www.avast.com/

Each of these are free software solutions for virus protection. I suggest that you try all of them (though not at once!) and see which one you prefer.

AVG free anti-virus software!!!!
I like AVG, but you can also look at this site - http://www.download.com
to get free protection u can get botdefender pro 9 plus for 30 days then u have to buy new key but if u clever enough to find the key for free then do it but that is illegal
Go to www.majorgeeks.com and download zone alarm. I can't believe nobody said this. I asked the same thing. I've had it for a while and it works really good. You should check and see what your internet service has too. Often they have a protection that is free.
