We're often asked what anti-virus and anti-spyware programs we recommend that are free. Here are our current recommendations:

- Avast Home Edition (free but requires free registration)
http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html

- Spybot Search & Destroy (free)
http://www.safer-networking.org/en/mirrors/index.html

Also, to ensure full functioning of our community's features, you should add psychcentral.com to your "trusted sites" in your web browser. (We regularly scan our servers every day to ensure your account's safety and security.)

Hope this helps,
