477808
ad-aware is what i use and it catches most stuff.  I dont know how i would rate them, but i refered to Cnet and TechTV to run tests on them and Ad-Aware or Spybot usually come out on top.  The spyware protection that comes with the big antivirus packages (macaffe and norton) are starting to catch up.  If you run ad-aware or spybot your system should be clean.  Be careful though spyware can be caused by a virus on the system and those programs cannot fix a virus.  \n\ntry and run www.pandasoftware.com virus scan.  They can help you identify it you have a virus or just spyware.

If you want free anti-virus software then Grisoft has a free edition for home users.  Or if you want an online scanner then Trend Micro has Housecall.  Or if you want a virus remover then McAfee has Stinger.  The first is most secure and the others are good for emergency situations, but not everyday use.  All are free.

I have to say I was very surprised by the list of top 25 AV.  I've had AVG and Avast both pick up numerous infections that many of the others rated higher than them failed to spot.  \n\nI personally love AVG, because it's free and have a very minimal impact on performance.  Although NOD32 and Kaspersky, paid versions, are very good as well.  I would rate them above AVG if I made a list that included both pay for use and free solutions.\n\nI can't fully recommend Avast, as on more than one occassion on seperate machines it somehow managed to replicate the entire hard drive.  No explanation, no weird infection, just some software glitch.\n\nSpybot is a must, as well as Adaware.  There are also some paid solutions, like Sunbelt's Counterspy that I love and think works fantastically.

In my spare time I test on my backup computer all antispyware/antivirus programs to see if the perform as claimed And especially to see which one have embedded trojans/adware either in their program or in the wizard installer used to guide you through the installation. \n\nWhat is rate as 1-2-3-4-5 is not always the best. Especially when you can find free programs that are light years ahead in technology over the purchased.\n\nIn my computer I use the following free programs.\n\nFor antivirus you can only use one or you will have serious conflict with your system. You can use three or four antispyware without any conflict.\n\nAvast in my opinion is the very best. Have you Avast for nine plus years and never had one virus. They are out of Prague.\n\nhttp://www.avast.com This program is free and has one of the very best background scanner that will catch any virus in real time and destroyed the virus before it can enter you system. \nUpdates auto., two or three times per day. They will ask you for your email address so they can send you a free key that is good for one year. After one year you only have to request a new key.\n\nAntispyware\n\nhttp://www.ewido.net This company was out of Germany and has since been purchased by AVG. Now the name is AVG antispyware. Still the same program with excellent technolgoy. When you download the program it will come with all functions an if you don't purchase in thirty days they will just remove the background scanner and the auto updates. You will update on a manual basis. Scans all 195,000 objects in my system.\n\nhttp://www.emsisoft.com This company is out of Austria. Almost the same as the new AVG. A2Squared free version download. They will ask you for you email address so they can send you a key that is good for life. You will get any new free version with the same key. Plus has rootkit protection and rogue dialer protection. (I have ADSL, but use for the added protection).\n\nFirewall\n\nhttp://www.zonealarm.com Excellent firewall free, if you download their free for home use version. You will get daily updates if any are due, plus if they come out with a new free version they will notify you via automatic and you just say yes, download the new version. The new version will remove the old version. Always best to do is clean install, instead of allowing the new version to copy the files of what you allowed or deny. You will just have to allow, or deny incoming/outgoing traffice again. If you check off remember on Zone Alarm, they will not ask you again if you want to allow or deny the same program. \n\nFor "zero day attacks", Attacks that hit before any security company has knowledge of the attack. I use a free software that is is excellent state of the art technology to identify any program that the behaivor is strange, like trying to download hidden files, etc. etc. Will get a pop up with indepth details, so you can decide for yourself if you want to allow or deny. Plus will block all malware. http://www.cyberhawk.com\n\nIf you want to spend money you can use what I use in my backup pc. http://www.filseclab.com Twister Trojan Antivirus. This program is used by the Government of China and you only pay a one time fee of $29.99 for live. Will include all new versions, auto, updates, an excellent support. Has a real great background scanner that really works, plus many other features that operate from the icon in the tray. Well worth the one time fee. Most other companies charge you an annual fee. China does not believe in the annual fee. \n\nClinical Psychiatrist, France\n\nExcuse my english\n\nClinical Psychiatrist. France.

My personal all-time favourite is AVG (http://free.grisoft.com/ ), but I've also tried other antivirus solution like Avast (http://www.avast.com/ ), and ClamWin (http://www.clamwin.com/ ). Both of them are decent free antivirus, I recommend them. Avast failed to get into my favourite because I don't really like the interface although it gives a decent results. While Clamwin failed to become my favourite merely because it doesn't have real time scanning, which is good for PC that is tight on resources (mostly because I've already too used to AVG though)\n\nNote: I have to tell you that you MUST NOT have more than one antivirus installed at the same time, if you want to try other AV product, you have to uninstall the current AV product.\n\nPS: For other answerer's information, he asks for an antivirus software and not firewall software (like the mentioned Sygate) or antispyware software (like the mentioned Spybot SD).

Yep, Avast antivirus is excellent antivirus software. Besides, it's free. I'm using it now, also tried Norton Antivirus (worked fine but cased some problems with network), Dr. Web. As for antispyware&#92;malware and a firewall I use Privacy Expert but there are a lot of other solutions.

Norton IS cr@p!!!!! ALL the IT mags and newsletters are admitting to that now. They're exposing all the security holes in it.\n\nI go with Avast! AV by Alwil, Spybot Search & Destroy, Ad-Aware se Personal by Lavasoft. I've used this program cocktail ever since the programs came out with GREAT results!!! You can get all three for free from http://download.com\n\nAvast looks in a LOT more places than AVG. I quit using AVG when they went to the dogs a couple of years ago. Avast also give superior real-time protection. It also update a LOT more often(sometimes more than once a day), which is EXTREMELY important!!!\n\nSS&D looks for a MYRIAD of types of mal-ware and gives great real-time protection to your registry with it's "Tea Timer" function (found) in SS&D's 'Advanced Mode' under 'Tools'>'Resident'.\n\nAd-Aware free gives no real-time protection but is a nice compliment to SS&D. It can mop up anything (IF anything) SS&D just MIGHT miss.\n\nBTW:  I DID have eTrust's Zone Alarm suite .found out it "phoned home"..hated it! Tried Kaspersky, found out it was laden with a ROOTKIT.

My personal favorite is Zonelabs ZoneAlarm Pro.. but just get the firewall pro.. they have different versions that come with antivirus and antispyware programs... but just the Firewall is all you really want from them.
