    You should buy or install Ant-Virus… and you are making transactions online?…. Your information may lead or fall into the bad hands… you should install anti virus that have labeled “Internet Security” because they are built to keep your privacy private… I think i recommend to you is Kaspersky Internet Security 2010… it is good!

    Not just you, but EVERYONE should definitely get an antivirus!!! Windows security will definitely not get all the viruses that are out there. There is a great free one that I have been using for years called avast. It has caught every threat that has come my way so far.
    if you want this one you can download it here http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

    I have also heard of some called AVG, Avira, Kaspersy…. etc.
