I use AVG. It is free and works well. Also, ZONE ALARM is a great firewall/protection. Also, I use Spybot: Search and Destroy for ad/apyware.

Answers from computer PROS only thnx!?free spyware

I've been using plain old Symantec Anti-Virus (also called Norton Anti-Virus for the home market) for over 10 years. It works great. But then again I've never had a virus either. It isn't just important to have ant-virus but also to practice safe computing (i.e. don't read emails from people you don't recognize, use strong passwords, use a web browser other than internet explorer, be careful of what you click on, etc). If you practice safe computing then you can actually get away without using any anti-virus, spyware remover/blockers, personal firewalls, etc.
HOnestly I don't run any AV protection at all

Going on 30 years, never had a problem.

Windows 2000 Professional and Ubuntu Linux.
