I have used AVG Anti Virus, Zone Alarm Firewall, Spy-bot Search and Destroy and Ad Aware both spyware killers for years. They are all free for personal use and I have had no trouble with Viruses Trojans etc. AVG does not slow the system down as much as some other products and Zone Alarm allows a lot of personal configuration unlike the Windows Firewall. They can all be downloaded from the following link. http://www.computeractive.co.uk/ On the home page select downloads and then the appropriate category.I also use Windows Defender from the Microsoft site. It is safe to use two anti-spy products but never use more than one A/V as it can cause conflicts. You should run A/V and anti spy weekly. Hope this helps.

PCworld recentley did a review and rated Kaspersky Anti-virus 6 as the best antivirus program out there. Number 2 was Symantec Norton Antivirus 2007 and number 3 was BitDefender Antivirus 10. Full article can be found here:

I read the reviews of antiviral software in January and Norton Antivirus was listed as the best this year. Best to check once a year since the status of the products will change.

I guess that depends on the user's needs.
I like a strong anti-vir which works in the background without eating all my computers ressources (like mcaffee).
Therefore, I prefer NOD32. Strong and easy to use. Doesnt use excessive resources.

Norton Antivirus is pretty good.

I personally prefer McAfee Security Suite. Very user friendly and I have had no issues/problems. I am not a tech expert, but it seems to protect my system very well.

Norton slows your computer too much. Trendmicro or Zone Alarm are both good without the nuisance.

McaFee is pretty good, Norton is o.k. but it slows down ur system too much, E-Trust is another one..Best thing is that install AV program..scan ur PC..than Uninstall it...again after 15-20 days install AV...scan..unistall...so again & again..It will help

Norton sucks, I still got popups and all kinds of viruses and things. I have McAfee and it is great.
