NO anti-virus can ever be relied upon to give 100% protection. None of them do. Most only detect about 85 to 95% of all KNOWN viruses. When a brand new virus is released , NO signature-based anti-virus will detect it for several hours up to several days. And over 1200 new variants of viruses and other malware are created by the "black-hats" each and every day.
The best computer security is that which resides between the keyboard and the chair!

No single piece of software suffices. Each catches what another doesn't (and I've never seen any of these come up empty-handed). My first line of defense is the router's firewall. My second is comodo on the pc. Next, in this order: AVG anti-virus, ClamWin anti-virus, AVG anti-spyware, Lavasoft AdAware, Spybot Search and Destroy, AVG anti-rootkit, Spywareblaster, CWshredder.

it will do one heck of a job-BUT no one tool stops every thing. I sugest you get it (and that is great price) and also spyware doctor ($30) and superant spyware free plus http://www.iobit.com with these you will find what the other doesnt. good luck.
