All of these are ones that I personally use and all are free.\n\nAVG Removes I-Worm/Stration · BackDoor.Generic3.GBB and .GBC · Worm/Generic.FX · Exploit.WMF\nhttp://free.grisoft.com/doc/5390/lng/us/tpl/v5\n\nSpybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free, so there's no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer.\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org/\n\nhttp://superantispyware.com/\nSUPERAntiSpyware is the most thorough scanner on the market. Our Multi-Dimensional Scanning and Process Interrogation Technology will detect spyware that other products miss! SUPERAntiSpyware will remove ALL the Spyware, NOT just the easy ones!\nEasily remove over 100,000 pests such as SmitFraud, Vundo, WinFixer, SpyAxe, SpyFalcon, WinAntiVirus, AntiVermins and thousands more!\nMake sure after you download any of these, that you update them.\n\n *Be sure to come back to Yahoo Q&A and vote for one of the answers as best answer!

Norton antivirus is the best.\nWe've had no viruses in the last 10 years

There are many decent anti-virus programs available. Norton's is one of the best, as it's both thorough and economical and doesn't use up a lot of memory; however, the problem where memory is concerned is that the best programs require the most memory. I was using Nortons awhile back and still got a virus, so I spent about $300.00 on a very extensive program called Tech on Demand. Unfortunately, it requires a lot of memory to run because of the many functions of the program. The amount of memory is pretty much proportional to the amount of protection you're looking for.

If you want free use AVAST or AVG for Antivirus (completely free)\n\nIf you want spyware use AdAware SE or Spybot S&E (completely free)

Many excellent Anti Virus programs are downloadable for FREE from the sites in the "sources". For example:\n-AVG anti virus\n-Avast! anti virus\n-Mcafee anti virus ( my personal best)\n\nThose are the best of the best. Also, if you want, download some good anti spyware programs for FREE such as:\n-Mcafee anti spyware\n-Etrust pest patrol\n-Spy Sweeper\n-Microsoft Anti Spyware or Windows Defender\n\n\nsome of the programs need serial number, which you can get from www.theserials.com\n\nalso, even if download.com says that Mcafee anti spyware is a trial, that's not true. download it, it's free.\ngood luck

Don't buy Norton! It will slow down your pc! There are several free antivirus programs and some very good pay antivirus programs. The link below is a link to PCWorl.com that has ranked the top Antivirus programs pay and free. Pcworld.com says that BitDefender is the best pay antivirus. \nSource(s):\nhttp://www.pcworld.com/reviews/article/0...

AVG gets great reviews. You should never use two anti-virus programs at the same time. \n\nThink of it like having two goalies trying to protect a single soccer net -- they are going to get in each others way and some balls will get through. ;o)

"WHat would be the best virus protection software on the market today?"\n\nWhat does the word "best" mean to you? are you talking about protection, the ability to protect your computer? are you talking about what program that does not drain system resources? Are you talking about customer support?\n\nSee the problem is that... there is no Best AntiVirus. They all have pros and cons. Some are good, most free programs are crap (imho, and in my personal experience) and none are the best.\n\nhere is the "rock paper scissors" of the whole thing...\n\n-an AV that is the best at protecting your computer from viruses will hog system resources.\n-an AV that allows the computer to operate efficiently, will not have the best protection. \n\n-an AV that finishes a scan quickly will probably will not be the most efficient.\n-an AV that takes forever to finish a scan, probably will be the safest.\n\n-an AV that is free usually does not have customer support.\n-an AV that is not free usually does not have GOOD customer support...\n\nso I hope this helps... dont waste your time looking for the best antivirus/firewall program, just get a good one that is right for you that balances protection with efficiency\n\n@moodyboy\n\n"Kaspersky of couse and to all of you who still trust norton and macafee or those sort of sh**...now its time to open your eyes and do your pc or laptop a favor .... email me if u cannot afford to buy it..if u know what i mean. O_O! AVG REALLY SUCK DO NOT USE IT.... "\n\nI do not hold the same opinion as you, and I would go farther to even saying that you are void of any intelligence at all. I do not even think you know why you have such strong faith in "Kaspersky"? Because I know why you hold such a high program in high regards and denigrate other (obviously mainstream) programs. But do you?\n\nMaybe it is really "time [for you] to open your eyes". The reason "kaspersky" would be the "best" antivirus, is because very few (to no) virus writers would take the time to write script to defeat it. The biggest security threat to any if not all programs/av/os's is the more people that use it, the more people will try to edit/manipulate it. Hence, nortan is not as good an av (in your opinion) because.... it is main stream and most companies and consumers use it. By not only increasing the popularity of your av (and by my formula above, making it more "insecure"), you make yourself look... well for lack of a better word... retarted.\n\nAs for your offer of wares? First off, even those of little computer knowledge or experience can get programs off of the internet. You really must be kidding, not only would you be taking money away from the people who created the program that you so diligently promote, but you would even reduce the amount of time that company would put into creating security patches and updates (that is if they have patches and updates to begin with)...\n\nI bet you think you are a mad haxor huh? (getting wares off of the internets? and saying how detrimental it is for peoples to use nortan, and how “AVG REALLY SUCK[s(sic)] DO NOT USE IT” in caps… People like you make people like me laugh.\n\n\n!

It depends upon your needs and perspective. Here is a list of the anti virus programs that I have used:\n\n1. Norton Antivirus\n2. Bit Defender\n3. McAfee Antivirus\n4. AVG Antivirus Free\n\nNow, if you don't want to spend any bucks and still want to get antivirus protection, then I suggest you go with AVG which you can download from www.grisoft.com \n\nIf you prefer to use paid antivirus protection (I highly suggest this), then I recommend you go with Norton Antivirus.\n\nNorton Antivirus is extremely user friendly and cathces most of the virus. But test reports show that BitDefender can catch more infections than Norton, but it is not very user friendly. I am currently using BitDefender. \n\nSo there you go. You have to choose between Norton or BitDefender.\n\nHere are some useful links:\n\nNorton Antivirus Review: http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=ie7&rls=com.microsoft:en-US&ie=utf8&oe=utf8&q=Norton+Antivirus+Review\nBitDefender Review: http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=ie7&rls=com.microsoft:en-US&ie=utf8&oe=utf8&q=bitdefender+review\n\nYou might also be interested in:\n\nhttp://www.gamersworldbd.com\nhttp://groups.yahoo.com/group/gamers-world_bd/\nhttp://gamersworldbd.blogspot.com\nhttp://exchangestation.gamersworldbd.com
