You do need an anti-virus program (if for no other reason than to remove and fix what ever you put on your computer by clicking on the pop-up), but NOT one that you buy through a pop-up. Look at Norton or McAfee. You pay for those, but they are worth it. There are also some freeware programs that can be helpful, such as Spybot - Search and Destroy or Ad-Aware (which has a free version as well as version you pay for).

Anyone else know of other good anti-virus/anti-malware programs?
For what it's worth, I've had better luck with Norton than McAfee.

I have had horrible luck with Panda, though.
