I have searched for long time and then I found that Norton is the best one but know this :Norton is strong against viruses but spy I don't think so you will need a spyware remover there is a free and strong one from google or you can use Mcafee it has a great definition and you can also use windows pop-up to help your protection so in the final result you can try Mcafee but make sure to stay up tp date good luck ...

If what you are referring to is a pop up that is flashing or says something like
ALERT! YOUR SYSTEM MAY BE INFECTED!
It is a spam advert. Ignore it.
But to answer your other question, the best anti-spyware program is Ad-Aware SE. It is free, and I use it very frequently.
Another very good one is SPYBOT SEARCH AND DESTROY. Also free.

Most 'warnings' are a scam, but it doesn't hurt to have some anti-spyware software anyway.
Go to lavasoft.com and get 'adaware personal'
It is free, keep it updated regularly and run a full scan every couple of days to keep spyware and other junk off your machine.

Where does the "ALERT" come from???
If it comes from "windows messenger", you need to turn off windows messenger!
Start>control panel>administrative tools>scroll down to "messenger" and disable.
