In my spare time I test on my backup computer all antispyware/antivirus programs to see if the perform as claimed And especially to see which one have embedded trojans/adware either in their program or in the wizard installer used to guide you through the installation.
What is rate as 1-2-3-4-5 is not always the best. Especially when you can find free programs that are light years ahead in technology over the purchased.
In my computer I use the following free programs.
For antivirus you can only use one or you will have serious conflict with your system. You can use three or four antispyware without any conflict.
Avast in my opinion is the very best. Have you Avast for nine plus years and never had one virus. They are out of Prague.
http://www.avast.com This program is free and has one of the very best background scanner that will catch any virus in real time and destroyed the virus before it can enter you system.
Updates auto., two or three times per day. They will ask you for your email address so they can send you a free key that is good for one year. After one year you only have to request a new key.
Antispyware
http://www.ewido.net This company was out of Germany and has since been purchased by AVG. Now the name is AVG antispyware. Still the same program with excellent technolgoy. When you download the program it will come with all functions an if you don't purchase in thirty days they will just remove the background scanner and the auto updates. You will update on a manual basis. Scans all 195,000 objects in my system.
http://www.emsisoft.com This company is out of Austria. Almost the same as the new AVG. A2Squared free version download. They will ask you for you email address so they can send you a key that is good for life. You will get any new free version with the same key. Plus has rootkit protection and rogue dialer protection. (I have ADSL, but use for the added protection).
Firewall
http://www.zonealarm.com Excellent firewall free, if you download their free for home use version. You will get daily updates if any are due, plus if they come out with a new free version they will notify you via automatic and you just say yes, download the new version. The new version will remove the old version. Always best to do is clean install, instead of allowing the new version to copy the files of what you allowed or deny. You will just have to allow, or deny incoming/outgoing traffice again. If you check off remember on Zone Alarm, they will not ask you again if you want to allow or deny the same program.
For "zero day attacks", Attacks that hit before any security company has knowledge of the attack. I use a free software that is is excellent state of the art technology to identify any program that the behaivor is strange, like trying to download hidden files, etc. etc. Will get a pop up with indepth details, so you can decide for yourself if you want to allow or deny. Plus will block all malware. http://www.cyberhawk.com
If you want to spend money you can use what I use in my backup pc. http://www.filseclab.com Twister Trojan Antivirus. This program is used by the Government of China and you only pay a one time fee of $29.99 for live. Will include all new versions, auto, updates, an excellent support. Has a real great background scanner that really works, plus many other features that operate from the icon in the tray. Well worth the one time fee. Most other companies charge you an annual fee. China does not believe in the annual fee.

My HP has Vista on it. it relatively is been no longer something yet a situation because of the fact new. i do no longer understand if the Vista working gadget performed a factor in it or no longer. when I get my replica of residing house windows 7 and get that computing device reloaded with a sparkling OS i'm gonna provide Norton yet another attempt on that device and spot the way it does. If it does as rotten because it did with the Vista OS on it that stands out as the top of it with Norton. to boot it basically no longer working good on that computing device i had it in this computing device that i'm on good now. Norton 2010 replaced into basically as sorry as 360 to me.I relatively have s some nasty code that i will deliver to any computing device in my shop just to make certain for myself how nicely Norton might artwork. i attempted 10. It detected all 10. Out of the ten it basically bumped off four. the different 6 have been waiting to close down Norton. They disabled it. i'm nevertheless gonna provide it a attempt on residing house windows 7 when I get it. yet i do no longer look to be inspired any. so a techniques the only AV that has particularly inspired me is Kaspersky. It caught all 10 on the door. never even made it on the device. Detected all ten and blocked them. this is the way a sturdy multi functional AV ought to artwork. do no longer basically freshen up after a an infection, shop it from occurring all at the same time.

Give up using Windows, and install Linux on your computer. Linux is immune to all viruses, malware, spyware and adware.
Linux is a complete operating system that is either free or very cheap ($10-$30) and comes bundled with a huge variety of free software.
The Linux desktop is amazingly flexible and customizable, and anyone who is used to Windows will soon feel comfortable with it - and shocked by how dull their old Windows system looks by comparison! For example, in Linux you can use up to twenty (yes twenty) separate desktop work spaces - Windows only gives you one.
Go to www.distrowatch.com to find out how to get all the popular flavors of Linux...
...then do an image search for Linux screen grabs on Google.
BE COOL - GET LINUX
