AVG antivirus 7.5 is the best I've had so far. You can download it online for free too!
I used to have McAffee & the eTrust EZ armor, but I got spyware all the time & it got really frustrating

I am using two anti virus softwares: Kapersky Internet Security 6 and AVG Anti Virus.. Kapersky is complete with firewall and intrusion blocker. Its updates are more frequent than AVG. But whatever virus one software missed, the other caught. And when I go for the Windows OneCare free online scan, it also get viruses and spywares that both Kapersky and AVG missed. In other words there is no one Best anti virus program because viruses and spywares are created daily. It up to the software programs to detect and update their database.

i have nod32 and i like it a lot. theres a free trial then you have to pay it after a month. and its not good to let two anti-virus run at the same time. so once the one you want is up. stop the other one. sometimes the only way stop it is to delete it from ur system. good luck.

Yes, what you are using now, is just fine, as long as it is working for you, you don't need another antivirus program..In case you want to try a different antivirus, here is a good free one..Merry Christmas..
