Norton Antivirus is probably the best antivirus. However, an antivirus is probably not as important as spyware protection. There is no money in writing viruses but there is a lot of money to be made writing spyware. I personally use Avast (free antivirus) and Microsoft Windows Defender (also free). With these, I have not had a virus and very little spyware. Also, I would recommend using Firefox instead of Internet Explorer. Although it is not actually more secure, there are far fewer people trying to write viruses and spyware that affect firefox than Intenet Explorer. I've been using Firefox for about 3 years now and have not once been infected by a virus or spyware through it.

Being a clinical psychiatrist I have a moral and legal obligation to keep my pc 100% clean from all virus/spyware/malware.

Used by the Government of China.

I tested every free and purchase antivirus system known. An I found only one that actually works 100%. Never had a virus or spyware in my system in nine years.

Go to, www.filseclab.com and download thier Twister AntiTrojan Virus program. (You will have to pay a small one time fee). You will never have to pay an annual fee for updates, support or new versions. The one time fee is for life. ($29.99)

The software company is located in Beijing, China. They have excellent support, frequent large signature updates an as always all new versions are free. No annual fee for anything.

Comes with a real time scanner that really works. Actually I am quite amazed over the nine years how well it works.

Scans memory on startup.
Real time scanning in the background.
Open any webpage with an embedded trojan/spyware or malware and scanner will clean on the spot. An It is really removed from your system.

Download any kind of program from zips, all compressed files, software files, music, etc,etc, an if there is a hidden embedded trojan,spyware,malware, this program will stop the download and clean. An will advise you to end the download.

Will even find a virus in the installer wizard, like "Wise Installer". And will stop the installation while it is being installed and clean. Plus this program always will trace back who installed the trojan.

I had a trojan in and wizard installer. Twister caught the trojan and stopped the installation. I wrote the origianl company and told them the wizard installer had an embedded trojan to steal your data. The company now uses thier own installer.

You can't beat this software for a one time purchase fee only. Actually I don't know of any antivirus progam that even comes close to this state of the art technology.

All I can say it is worth the one time fee. Your pc cost alot of money and you don't want it destroyed. Plus your privacy is protected at all times.

There is nothing in it for me to praise this program. I tell it like it is. If it is garbage then I will say so.

All of the mentioned programs are good... essentially, all work the same. Spyware cleaners are also quite good, and necessary.

The best strategy is not being noticed. Careful where you send emails -- i like to have an email address that i don't care about that i use when signinup up to services online -- these are the places you'll get spammed, and that means the places you'll receive trojans etc. Just ignore what you receive to this address. Never open .exe files that are sent to you -- generally, don't open anything that doesn't have a recognized extension.

try: http://www.secretmaker.com/ for protection;

try: https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2 to see how vulnerable your pc is


Hope this helps
