ok so what is the best Antivirus that i should use? it doesn't need to be free, it needs to be good, have a high detection rate..and overall a good program to use.
plus i am currently using Mcafee security center, is this any good?
plus is Kaspersky Internet Security 2007 any good, do you recommend it and is it better than Mcafee?
thanks for all the help ok

I use McAfee and it's just fine as long as you proprely configure it and ensure it's automatically updating.
Any antivirus from a reliable vendor is fine as long as you maintain it, properly configure it, ensure the auto updates.. and use common sense and good habits...
Free antvirus is "you get what you pay for" there is no real time scanning and no auto updates basically as worthless as a paid for program that is not properly configured.
Good Luck.

Here's a link to reviews of security software on CNet:http://reviews.cnet.com/4566-3688_7-0.html?tag=ont.sw.sec
Since my ISP is Comcast, I use McAfee which is free for Comcast customers. I also downloaded Adware.
