Norton Systemworks and Spysweeper are the best 2 when it comes to anti-virus software and they work together!! No conflicts!! Don't fall for the free software. There is a reason why they are free. They are not good.

For viruses, the reputable free ones are Avast! and AVG anti virus. For ones that you have to pay for- which tend to be better- I'd highly recommend McAfee. I just found a few viruses on my computer today that it didn't catch, but you cannot expect each anti virus system to be able to catch each virus. What caught it was Trendmicro's housecall scan, so I suppose that trendmicro is a good investment if you don't want Mcafee. :)

Spybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free.
