what do u think is the best anti virus or adware'spyware'dilderremover??

I've heard Nod32 is the best AV but it's not free. AVG is the 'best' for me coz it works fine AND is free.

Same reason I use AdAawre and Spybot for malware, regularly updated and run.

Zone Alarm to stop the greeblies phoning home if they manage at all to get on the comp and also ZA to stop intrusions. (Never foolproof but that's life on the net).

Finally Crap Cleaner, otherwise known a CCleaner to rip through the comp aand clean out redundant entries, temps files, lots of stuff and also spring cleans the REGISTRY. Pretty ruthless program, doesn't give you many options but hey this comp *touch wood* runs like a train.

i still prefer nortonThe best antivirus is the one you keep updated and run regularly. A loafing A/V program is false security, no matter how good the engine. Best spyware killer is the same. Firewalls are mandatory with broadband and recommended with dialup.

I prefer Grisoft AVG, Anti-Vir, or Panda Antivirus for A/V (free, and updates are REASONABLY easy), backed up with an occasional free online scan from Trend Micro HOUSECALL. Trend Micro PCCillin, McAfee VirusScan, and Norton Antivirus seem to be the most popular paid antivirus. I strip spyware with Lavasoft AdAware and Safer Networking SpybotS&D. I prefer Sygate, ZoneAlarm, or KERIO for free firewalls and Tiny Personal Firewall for a paid one...
