HI this is chirag.\n\nif you are willing to purchase Anti-Virus protection software, I recommend you to buy Latest McAfee Antivirus Suite including firewall.. It is the no. 1 Virus spywares, trojan, phising, and other malware and security Protection  suite.\n\nYou may find more info on this from the following web site.\n\nhttp://us.mcafee.com/root/landingpages/affLandPage.asp?affid=101&lpname=linkshare_mis&siteID=qBNKlhsBsB4-DXR%2FOrKSuAT2ua1P8HU0WA\n\nYou may download a trial version to try before purchase from the following web site.\n\nhttp://download.mcafee.com/us/eval/evaluate2.asp\n\nI hope the above info is helpful.

I reckon norton is the best ;)\nAnd about the learning thing -- \nI WOULD turn it off (My opinion) because it's just letting everything go on the internet without your permission! So what if it's asking to much 'Allow' OR 'block' question.\nAnd anyway I've got this game called AXG mu online, it's a private server of real mu online and yes it gives you viruses but who cares norton seems to block it :D.\nand about the worm blocking thing for NIS 06 I think it's happening to everyone including me.

Avast is a good antivirus... and more over it is free for Home edition..

I've been using Avast and it seems to work well so far.\nhttp://www.avast.com

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.

Brilliant!!\nAVG - 9/10\nAvast - 7.5/10(looks stylish but eats into your virtual memory)\nComodo - 6/10\nBitDefender - 7.5/10(no real time protection shield)\nAOL Active Virus Shield - 8/10(over advertised, again eats into your virtual memory)

I have been using Kaspersky for over 2 years, it appears to me to be the best. I have used Sophos, Norton, Trend etc.

Here is my ideal Anti-virus :\n\nAn Anti-virus program which is sized as much as your power point presentation files, needs no yearly subscription, and that protects mobile phones, PDAs, iPods, PCs, Linux boxes and Macs not only from known viruses but also from future epidemics of trojans and other malware that is yet to be invented.\n\nBelieve it or not, this unique Antivirus has been invented already!!\nThis new Anti-virus technology "Rudra" unlike the existing  signature-based╝ technology utilizes  a different approach to identify digital intrusions ie. heuristic approach that is based on a set of loose rules and probabilities to identify malicious code and which is in turn based on key preventive feature which takes a snapshot of the device to be protected in complete detail before any infection has occurred and then continues to monitor and scan the system for any suspect changes thereby protecting from known viruses and from any unknown malicious codes (malware) including trojans, worms, spyware and keyloggers.\n\nThis feature eliminates the need to be continously updated. Also this technology requires system to be totally free of virus before installing this program \n\nFor details about this Antivirus technology, see the source links-

AntiVirus alone is not enough.  While the bigger companies, McAfee and Symantec, are building out a total package, they've gotten pretty pricey for total coverage.

My favorite free antivirus program is the award-winning Avast! Home Edition.\nIt can be found here, http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html\nHere are a few of its awards, http://www.avast.com/eng/awards.html\n\nFor a firewall, I like ZoneAlarm http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/company/products/znalm/freeDownload.jsp

Ok... AVG Free in my opinion is the best/most affective free anti-virus software for PC. Others might say Avast is, but it is a lot less user friendly.\n\nIf you can afford it, I highly recommend NOD32 by Eset. It's not the easiest to use, but it is the most effective AV I have ever used.\n\nYou can have two or more anti-virus software on the same PC, but it isn't recommended because it could slow down your computer significantly. Also one might cancel the other out or they could fight each other; both of which aren't fun to deal with.\n\nThey might both catch the same virus, but usually when it gets to the killing part they end up fighting the other Anti-Virus software.\n\nAVG should automatically remain operational and automatically update and detect viruses after installing.

AVG works best in tandem with programs like Spybot Search & Destroy and Ad-Aware, and one other free antivirus of your choice (like say Mcafee Stinger).\nTrusting your system to only one antivirus or trojan/spyware detector is just suicidal. No ONE program will detect everything.\nPS - Norton is the best....at slowing your system down, hogging system resources...screwing up if you try to uninstall it...taking forever to do full system scans...yup...Norton is the best at SUCKING LARGE.

Personally, I prefer the Avast Antivirus. Out of the many products available, it puts one of the smallest drains on system resources (It slows you computer down the least). There is a free version available, and the only valuable feature it lacks is an option to schedule a recurring scan.\n\nI also use Zone Alarm firewall. It also has a free option, but you can upgrade to pro to enable advanced options and Anti-Spyware proteciton.\n\nLook at these products for anti spyware (All have free versions): Adaware, Spybot Search & Destroy and Microsoft Windows Defender.

Of the commercial (paid) products I've tried, I'm most satisfied with Trend Micro - it has minimal overhead, and works as well as some of the more prominnent names.  At home, I ue Avast! home edition - I find it to do a better job of preventing viruses than any other free antivirus product, as it has modules that provide email protection, IM protection, and file-sharing protection.

The best anti-virus program is AVG by far, the free version or the bought version.\nSome good anti-spyware programs are Spyware Blaster or Spybot Search & Destroy.\nThese programs all are compatable with each other a will get rid of all of the viruses and spyware on your pc.
