All of these are ones that I personally use and all are free.After you install any of them,make sure you update them to get the full affect.


AVG anti virus/anti spyware remover.

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.

1st, don't waste your time with AVG, spybot, ad aware, spyhunter, or anything of the sort. Stay away from anything that is FREE. There is a reason why they free. They are NOT good.
2nd, You need some of the best software out there. Norton Systemworks is very good. That's the only good software from Norton. Don't get Internet security, its not that great. Now the best software you should get is Spysweeper with Anti-virus, this software is too good and gets better everyday. It blocks over 170,000 threats. No other software can compete with that or come close for that matter. I've used them all and it is 2nd to none.
3rd, after you install and update the software, since its in your system you will have to turn off system restore and then go into safe mode and run the scan and eliminate the virus. then after removal, reboot and turn system restore back on.
4th, any probs during or after you do all this, send me an e-mail.

Use Norton Corporate Edition. I know how to get the full version but sorry I can't post it up here in public. Um.. if you want, you can email me letting me know. Norton Corportate Edition is very powerful and the good thing about it is that it doesn't take up lot of resources from you computer, in other words it doesn't make it slow. You won't even know it's there. Take Care.

Avast at www.avast.com is free for home users. Commercial, institutions and for profit systems have to pay. It catches a virus as soon as it appears whether through a website or email. It also updates automatically when you connect to the internet.

Get:
Spybot Search and Destroy
Ad-Aware SE Personal
AVG Free Antivirus
Zone-Alarm Free Firewall.
Google for these and you should get them.
Hope this helps.
NEVER USE NORTON.

Good Luck.
