*Plenty of solid products are available to help you protect your system — and some of them don’t cost a dime. Here’s a list of some of the most popular and effective free tools for defending yourself against a variety of threats.*

有大量产品可以帮助您保护您的系统-其中一些不需要花一个子儿。下面列出了一些最流行且有效保护自己免受各种威胁的免费工具。

####  ####

PC security is a hot industry, thanks to forces from the Dark Side. Your system, more than finances, will determine the tools you use to protect it. However, for the casual home or business computer, a number of free security products work well. Almost all of these products offer a paid version with more features, and many users eventually upgrade — which is why these companies can afford to offer free products.

拜黑暗方压力所赐，个人电脑安全是一个热门行业。您的系统，超过财政，将确定您用来保护它的工具。然而，对家庭或企业的计算机来说，一些免费的安全产品工作得很好。几乎所有这些产品提供了带有更多功能的付费版本，许多用户最终升级——这就是这些公司能够向用户提供免费的产品的原因。

Before you spend your hard-earned money on expensive security products, check out the following free tools.

在把血汗钱投向昂贵的安全产品前，请检验下列免费工具。

### **1: AVG Anti-virus Free Edition（AVG Anti-virus免费版）** ###

Without doubt,[AVG][]is probably the most popular, free, antivirus software. It protects your system against both viruses and spyware. Initially, the free version of AVG was stable and effective. As the Dark Side advances, AVG has fallen behind a bit, but, it is still a good product if you combine it with other products (specifically, \#2 and \#3). Don’t depend solely on AVG.

毫无疑问，AVG大概是最流行的免费反病毒软件。它保护你的系统免受病毒和间谍软件的侵害。起初，免费版的AVG是稳定有效的。由于黑暗方前进了，AVG已落后了一点，但是，如果结合其他产品（特别是 \#2和\#3），它仍是一个好的产品 。不要完全依赖AVG。

### **2: Malwarebytes** ###

[Malwarebytes][]fights malware — programs designed with malicious intent. Unfortunately, there’s no way to uninstall malware once it’s installed, because it doesn’t show up in the Control Panel. In addition, these files usually install helper programs that re-download then reinstall the malware if you delete it. Malware includes viruses, worms, rootkits, spyware, and trojans. As these products evolve, they are harder to detect and remove. Malwarebytes is one of the best programs, free or not, for detecting and removing malware.

Malwarebytes对抗恶意软件——被设计成具有恶意目的的程序。不幸的是，恶意软件一旦安装就无法卸载，因为它不显示在控制面板中。此外，这些文件通常安装了辅助程序，如果你删除了恶意软件，这些辅助程序会重新下载和安装它们。恶意软件包括病毒，蠕虫，rootkits，间谍软件和特洛伊木马。这些产品由于发展而难于检测和移除。不论免费与否，Malwarebytes是最好的检测和删除恶意软件程序之一。

### **3: Spybot - Search & Destroy** ###

Spyware tracks your Internet usage to create a marketing profile that is then sold, without your knowledge, to advertising companies. If you notice a new toolbar in your browser, most likely you’re being tracked by spyware. Sometimes, these programs hijack your browser homepage, forcing you to browse the Internet through their system. Although spyware isn’t inherently destructive, it usually affects performance. If your system suddenly slows down, chances are you’ve been infected.[Spybot - Search & Destroy][Spybot - Search _ Destroy]detects and removes spyware, which isn’t covered by many other anti-malware applications.

间谍软件跟踪你在互联网上的使用情况，从而建立一个市场概况，然后在你不知晓的情况下出售给广告公司。如果您在浏览器中发现一个新的工具栏，那您极有可能正在被间谍软件跟踪。有时，这些程序劫持您的浏览器主页，迫使你通过它们的系统来浏览互联网。虽然间谍软件不总是有破坏性，它通常会影响电脑的性能。如果您的系统突然变慢，没准您已经被感染了。 Spybot - Search & Destroy侦测并移除间谍软件，这是其他许多反恶意软件应用程序没有涉及的。

《endurer注：1、market profile：市场概况》

*Note: A combination of \#1, \#2, and \#3 provides adequate protection for most single-user systems. They’re easy to use and don’t require special technical knowledge.*

*注：\#1、 \#2 和\#3的组合为大多数单用户系统提供了足够的保护。它们易于使用，并且无需特别的技术知识。*

### **4: WOT** ###

Within the context of the market,[WOT][]is a fairly new offering that adds security, via an add-in, for your browser. It will keep your system safe from online scams, identity, theft, spyware, spam, viruses, and suspect commerce sites. As WOT encounters suspect sites, it alerts you. Of course, you decide whether to continue or not, but at least you go into the transaction forewarned.

WOT是这个市场中一个相当新的产品，通过一个浏览器插件增加安全性。它将让您的系统免受在线欺诈，身份盗窃，间谍软件，垃圾邮件，病毒和可疑网站的威胁。当WOT遇到可疑地点时会提醒您。当然，你可以决定是否继续，但至少你在进入前得到了预先警告。

### **5: WinPatrol** ###

[WinPatrol][]is a robust security monitor that alerts you to hijackings, malware attacks, and changes made to your system without your permission. Traditional security programs scan your hard drive, searching for specific threats. WinPatrol uses a heuristic (discovery) behavior to detect attacks and violations by taking snapshots of critical resources and alerting you to changes.

WinPatrol是一个强大的安全监控程序，可以提醒未经你许可的劫持，恶意攻击，和系统更改。传统的安全软件扫描您的硬盘驱动器，搜索特定的威胁。 WinPatrol采用启发式（ 发现）行为，通过采集关键资源快照并将改变提醒您，来检测攻击和侵犯。

### **6: Secunia Personal Software Inspector** ###

Most of us have at least one insecure program installed, which puts our systems at risk.[Secunia Personal Software Inspector][](SPI) scans your PC for insecure programs. It also keeps you informed of updates and patches for your installed programs.

我们大多数人都至少安装有一个不安全的程序，这使我们的系统处于危险之中。Secunia个人软件检查员（ SPI ）扫描你的电脑中不安全的程序。它也使你了解已安装程序的更新和修补程序。
