â The very best virus scanners are free. Mcafee & Norton Antivirus are mostly hype and won't do as good as the free ones. -- About.com & Smart Computing Magazine
â Download and install AVG. Use it first and see if it finds any viruses or trojans.

â Before downloading email attachments in Gmail and Yahoo Mail click on the link that says, "Scan With Norton Antivirus".
â Before downloading any software from the internet type it into http://groups.google.com/ to see if that title is known for spyware or viruses. Google Groups has over 1 billion posts spanning 25 years to help you. Even after checking it there ALWAYS scan it before opening it. You just can't be too careful. -- Smart Computing Magazine
â A lot of the download sites like http://www.download.com/ and http://www.tucows.com/ scan software before releasing it to the public. But just for safety sake you should still scan it yourself.

Spybot S&D or Lavasoft Ad-aware personal. It's always best to use multiple programs so you don't miss anything. The easiest way to prevent spyware is to avoid IE and watch what you download.

Two programs are really good to use. The first one is Adaware SE Personal. Can be downloaded for free. Another program is Spybot Search & Destroy. Both programs can be downloaded for free on the internet.

I prefer to use the following two,
Adaware http://www.adaware.com
SpyBot http://www.spybot.com
They are free. They both have good updates and easy interfaces. Our desktop support people use them to monitor and clean more than 3000 desktops at one of our campuses.
