Diversity is best. This month, the best is Norton, next week, it's AVG. It all depends on who is out in front on finding the problems.
But if everyone had the same Anti-virus, we'd all be caught off-guard.
Try AVG if you want one for free. http://www.grisoft.com/doc/1
I use and recommend Norton Anti-virus (not the Internet Security version)

NOD32, it's not the most widely used, but it's very low on resources and the virus definitions are great, if you want a free antivirus, use AVG.
(Happy NOD32 user for almost 2 years, and I've tried almost all the others.)
Also, DO NOT use Norton. It turns a gaming rig into a PIII.

hi, perhaps you can try Norton to remove the virus. but you need to pay for the software.
i recommand you to use firefox with Google toolbar. firefox can disable all virus to run, because the virus can only run on IE.
besides, firefox can block any any poppus and disable any virus and adware, spyware on webpage, so, firefox is much safer than IE. as you know, most of the virus is spread throught internet and webpage.
firefox is much smaller than IE, so i run faster than IE.
download firefox for free:

Norton works just fine. Norton does not interfer with most programs...have had problems with McAfee in past causing conflicts. Good luck

★★ SECURITY SOFTWARE & TIPS ★★
◙ 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
◙ Download and install AVG. Use it first and see if it finds any viruses or trojans.
☞ http://free.grisoft.com/doc/1
◙ After running AVG go here and run this virus scanner online. There is no need to install it on your computer.
☞ http://housecall.trendmicro.com/
◙ Microsoft's New Live Safety Center. Download this scanner to check and remove spyware, viruses, get rid of obsolete files and junk off your computer, and improve your PCs performance.
☞ http://safety.live.com/site/en-US/default.htm?s_cid=msep
◙ The Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool checks computers running Windows XP, Windows 2000, and Windows Server 2003 for infections by specific, prevalent malicious software—including Blaster, Sasser, and Mydoom—and helps remove any infection found. When the detection and removal process is complete, the tool displays a report describing the outcome, including which, if any, malicious software was detected and removed. You can run this tool online FREE.

◙ 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.
◙ If you have a broadband modem or network router the firewall in these is not as effective as a software firewall. The firewall that comes with Windows XP isn't very good either. Download ZoneAlarm and your system will be a lot safer. -- Smart Computing Magazine
