*Never install more than one anti-virus on your PC, as they may conflict with each other. On the other hand, its always good to install more than one anti-spyware.

As far as I'm concerned, If it costs money it can't be the best.
I use AVG AntiVirus. I've used it for over a year and never had a problem. I download and share files all the time. It automatically updates and scans when I start my computer.
You can also download their AntiSpyware program. For Spyware I also recommend AdAware.

I have TREND MICRO PC-CILLIN anti-virus. I love it, it has so many security features for everything. It notifies you for eveything and stops ALL viruses, hackers, spyware, etc....
This was on my new Dell when I purchased it, as a free trial. I loved it so much I bought it and will keep on buying it. It costs $59.00 online. Good Luck!

AVG is the best and they have a FREE addition. They also will sell you a professional addition as you will see on this link. I have used the free program myself for about 2 years and have NO PROBLEMS.
