According to PCWorld.com, BitDefender 9 is the best.  Norton is number 5 and it's a huge memory hog.  McAfee is #2, which can also be a memory hog.

It's best to scan with several virus/spyware programs. There's several online ones free that you can use. I like panda and bitdefender best because they've found the most viruses. Adaware is best for removing spyware.\nhttp://www.jimmyr.com/security.php

NOD32 is by far the best.\n\nIt uses very little RAM and has the best scanning results.\n\nBelow is a section from the press link below:\n\n"Microsoft Release Labs Renews Its License With Eset’s NOD32 Anti-Virus Software\nNOD32 Selected to Protect Microsoft Software from Viruses and Worms for the Fourth Year"\n\nIf Microsoft pays for it then you know it's gotta be good.

have you ran any computer scans to find and possibly remove small viruses?

Personally, I use the AOL AntiVirusShield.  AntiVirusShield is made by Kaspersky which is one of top-rated anti-virus vendors in the world.\n\nIn recent tests, the most popular free anti-virus, AVG, was only able to detect about 82% of a very large sample of viruses. On the other hand, AntiVirusShield was able to detect better than 99% in the same test.\nhttp://www.virus.gr/english/fullxml/default.asp?id=82&mnu=82 \n\nAOL AntiVirusShield has excellent virus detection rates and is extremely light on using your computer resources.\n\nFree to anyone, AOL member or not from:\nhttp://www.activevirusshield.com/antivirus/freeav/index.adp?
