There is no BEST. If there was, we'd all use that, and that hackers would develop viruses to go after that. You see, we all survive the best with diversity.
But check the ratings at http://www.cnet.com
Try this:
AVG Anti-virus
great anti-virus program

Some of the best computer virus programs that I know of are McAfee and Norton Anti-Virus. Download them on to your computer and if a virus is detected, it tells you from your taskbar. I have both McAfee and Norton, and they have seemed to keep my computer running. Just make sure to run a virus scan once in a while to make sure nothing got passed over.

I like the AVG anti-virus program. There's a "pay" edition, but also a free edition that works very well. It's available for download at the below link. Good luck.

My personal favorite is ZoneAlarm Security Suite. Although ZoneAlarm is best known for it's firewall, the security suite has a good antivirus program, spam filtering and spyware removal as well.
