Security - December 2006

Can the free-scans(advertisement) can be virus/fake themselves? And there detection results of pornographic sites/images be true? I dont think so,coz I never save such pictures,nor even sites! But they have found 264 adult pics.And also,how to COMPLETELY remove all the sites or pics I've visited/seen through Yahoo!search from the Computer memory?Are they stored anyhow,even if I delete them from the Internet search history?Pls help!

I heard that Norton is the best, but some users say that Norton can't detect some of the viruses that are aimed to be "Norton proved."
I heard that Avg is also good, but never use it before, any suggestion??
I am using symantec antivirus right now.
