I would recommend Norton Internet security 2007

Spysweeper with Antivirus is the best out there. It deals with Pop ups, spyware, adware, viruses, malware, etc etc. This is really elite software. It guards, catches and shields from over 170,600 threats. No other software can compare or come close to even half that. It's 2nd to none. Stay away from Norton Internet Security, it's not that great. Only thing from Norton you should get is Norton Systemworks. Also stay away from anything free when it comes to antivirus and spyware. There is a reason why they are free. They are not that good.

It depends upon your needs. You should consult some competent independent comparative reviews before making that decision. However, if you want a superior anti-virus solution for free, I would highly recommend kaspersky Anti-Virus due to it's extremely high and accurate malware detection rate and small footprint. The bad news is that it is expensive. The good news is that you can now get it for free. It seems that AOL purchased the rights to distribute it with a free license under the name "Active Virus Shield". You don't have to have an AOL account to use it and it has been proven to be a very reliable and thorough program. You can download it at the url below.

Hope this helps.

Definately Kaspersky with a 99.57% detection rate. The person who recommended Active Virus Shield is also right. It uses the Kaspersky engine. Essentially, it is Kaspersky Free.

Good luck!

Trend Pc cilin. It doesn't clog up your O/S and registry like Nortons and McAfee and has an easy user interface. It also uninstalls very painlessly

Norton is great but when you try to uninstall it it screws up your computer did it to 3 of mine.
For free security avast is pretty good.
