I use an antivirus program that many people have never heard of an in my opinion is the very best software in the world. Used by the Government of China. (In my spare time, I enjoy testing antivirus/spyware program to see if they work as claimed).
Nortons and Mcafee are the very worse antivirus programs in the world. And each year they seem to only get worse.
http://www.filseclab.com
Being a clinical psychiatrist I have a moral and legal obligation to keep my pc 100% clean from all virus/spyware/malware.
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.

I use the freeware versions of both AVG and Avast, and they've been great. I found McAffee horrendously slow and largely ineffective, while it took me days to uninstall Norton 2004 Professional after it totally messed up my PC. When I spoke to the guy in the local PC shop back then, he said he'd had to sort out a number of machines which that particular version of Norton had stuffed.

What ever program you use don't pay for it there are alot of virus checkers out there I think the best is AVG from Grisoft, it's free and uses very little system resourses, auto updates evrything you need for FREE!!!
