    AV and spyware programs to me are a personal choice as to the way you surf, and sites you visit. You will get a few answers saying AVG is good and all else is crap. Same with other brands. I could point you to a lot of surveys on AV/spyware/malware. I am not a fan of freeware, as I believe it hasn’t all the bells n whistles of a purchased product like , tech support etc, some may? I have used Norton’s since 2002 and it has let me down once. “when your on a good thing stick to it” old Aus saying. My suggestion is try, freeware, go with it, or try trial ware and buy, bottom line your personal choice.

    Don’t use AVG for the Moment because it continues to have hiccups (look at these pieces of news from not too long ago): http://news. cnet. com/8301-1009_3-10067148-83. html and http://news. cnet. com/8301-1009_3-10093875-83. html

    You can use the FREE COMODO Internet Security which combines Firewall & Antivirus and you can get it here (Take the free one on the left of the page): http://www. personalfirewall. comodo. com/

    * This is the one I use and I don’t have worries anymore *

    And whatever choice you make, it is best to install both antivirus and antispyware/malware along with a firewall to be fully protected.

    To get a free anti malware/spyware, look here: http://www. download. com and use the search feature to get a free one.

    Good luck

    I use Grisoft and have been using it for years. There are two versions a paid version and a free version. The only different in the two is the paid version update automatically on a daily basis and the freeware version updates on a less frequent basis unless you go in and check for updates. I use the free version for a number of years but I decided it was good and went to the paid version with a two year license. I will be buying the new version very soon. I believe that a company this good deserve to be paid.
