AOL Active Virus Sheild is just Kaspersky AV rebranded and stripped down for AOL. It is on of the top AV around and is way better than AVG and Antivir. IT does have antispyware in it.
You can compare how good AV detection rates are this site: http://www.av-comparatives.org/
I'm not sure about the serial thing i guess you would just get a new one.

I use the AOL AntiVirusShield. Don't let the name AOL fool you. AntiVirusShield is made by Kaspersky which is one of top-rated anti-virus vendors in the world.
In recent tests, the most popular free anti-virus, AVG, was only able to detect about 82% of a very large sample of viruses. On the other hand, AntiVirusShield was able to detect better than 99% in the same test. This was better than all the free programs AND all of the paid programs,too!

AntiVirusShield has excellent virus detection rates and is extremely light on using your computer resources. (6mb)
And it updates 12 to 20 times a DAY with new virus definitions, 7 days a week.
Yes it detects spyware too. Even better then some of the dedicated anti-spyware apps.
Free to anyone, AOL member or not from:
