    I like Norton 360 from Symantec.

    Eset Nod32 Smart Security 3.0.642.0 or BitDefender 2008 are really good antivirus programs.

    Heres a list…The ones I’ve heard about or used

    Free:
    Avast! antivirus (pretty good)
    AVG (apparently not as good as avast)
    Mcafee, use the set from Mcafee if you get it free with comcast or verizon
    Spyware doctor trial (download as part of the google pack to bypass 30 day limit)

    Paid:
    Norton 360, the best you can get
    Spyware doc full
    PC tools spyware + antivirus
    Mcafee(use norton if you can get it)

    Other:
    CA (never used it)
    PC tools Threatfire(great supplement to any virus scanner or firewall)

    Recommendations:
    Don’t have too many of these installed at once.
    I run Mcafee + spyware doc
    Get the latest versions, you NEED a program that will auto update.

    Bugs:
    Mcafee spamkiller killed my Vista pc instead of Spam
    Threatfire prevented Maplestory from running
