I place all my faith in the Symantec 'Nortons Internet Security' package for my desk top PC. It's never let me down yet (over 8 Years). I also use PC Cillan (provided by work) on my laptop but prefer Nortons.

when you're talking about internet security, which comprises antivirus and antispyware programs, as well as firewall security.\n\nyou can't hardly find an all-in-one solution, and even if there are quite some that's available, you can't still get a full protection. it's still best to install @ least these 3 different standalone programs.\n\nAntivirus - go for Avast 4.7 Home Edition (free)\nAntispyware - go for Spyware Terminator 1.4 (free)\nFirewall - go for ZoneAlarm 6.5 (free)\n\nyou can all find these in www.freewarefiles.com and www.download.com\n\ngood luck!

For any computer desktop or laptop , I recommend the following combination of security stuffs:\n\n1. Good antivirus (best free one is AVG antivirus). if you already have something like norton,symantec thats fine. I don't recommend Mcafee.\n2. Firewall(I recommend zonealram free version. other good one is kerio or outpost). Just one is fine.\n3. Good spyware remover. I recommend install two of them such as adaware se personal edition and spybot search and destroy. both are free.\n\nActually, all free I have recommended. The last but not least is to select proper browser because most security problems starts from browsing habit. In this case, my one and only choice is to use opera browser (www.opera.com). it has the best track record of security(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Browser_comparison#Vulnerabilities). its great.\n\nBe happy with your computer experience with above combination. its all about the total experience.

Of the products on the market today for straight antivirus protection, I'd have to go with PC World's recommendation, BitDefender.\n\nhttp://www.pcworld.com/reviews/article/0,aid,124475,00.asp\n\nThat, in combination with good antispyware, a firewall, and protection against registry alterations and rootkits, will provide your PC with layers of effective defense, as opposed to using a single product that, if compromised, would leave your PC defenseless.

I heard that AVG is good... for now anyway. I've used so many antivirus, trojan/spyware/adware removal programs. Norton, AVG, Ad-Aware, Spybot S&D, McAfee, BitDefender, Microsoft AntiSpyware (whatever its called), PC-cillin, Pest Patrol, etc., etc., etc.\n\nRight now I have AVG, BitDefender, Ad-Aware and Spybot S&D all running, and so far things have been fine. To add an extra level of protection, I would suggest using Firefox as your default web browser. Its safer than IE.

Spybot Search & Destroy - Safer-Networking\nAd-aware SE - Lavasoft\nYou can get both of these from http://www.downlad.com\n\nMicrosoft Antispy - Microsoft (formerly GIANT)\nAvailable right from http://www.microsoft.com\n\nYahoo Anti-spy - Yahoo\nAvailable with the Yahoo Toolbar from http://www.yahoo.com\n\nI haven't found any one spyware tool that works for everything, they all look for different things.  The Microsoft Anti-spy runs in the background of your PC so it actually provides active protection.

For good, free and recommended security programs, please go here \n\nhttp://www.webuser.co.uk/forums/showflat...\n\nI recommend AVG as an anti virus, although eTrust's 12 month free trial is excellent (I'm using it and am extremely impressed).\nIf you need other programs, go for Zone Alarm firewall, AVG anti spyware (formerly Ewido) and SpywareBlaster.\n\nIf you click on the names in that list I gave you and it will take you to the official download site. \n\nPlease ensure that you keep them all updated for full protection and check for any updates when you first download them.

If you actuall care about your computer, you will not download any security software from the internet. Many or even most of the free stuff has been modified so that when you install it your computer, it becomes a relay for all sorts of annoying or illegal spam and other nasties.\n\nGet a Mac and you won't need any antivirus stuff.\n\nBuh-bye now!

Ad-Aware SE Personal is definitely the best free antivirus out there.  Find it at http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/

Hi,\n\nIn my opinion, the best Security Suite is a product called Prevx1.  This is an All-in-one solution that protects users against Viruses, Adware, Spyware, Trojans, hackers, etc.  This means you no longer require a multi-layered protection of separate Virus / Spyware / Adware programs to protect you.\n\nTry out the 60 Day Trial they have on offer here:\nhttp://info.prevx.com/downloadremove.asp\n\nIn addition - Prevx1 is much better at protecting you SOONER from threats.  They have a unique form of real-time protection which doesn't require you to download new signatures to protect your PC.  Once one person has been affected by a new piece of malware - it is automatically determined by Prevx to be bad and then blocks it IMMEDIATELY from being run on any other machine in the world that has Prevx1 installed.  \n\nPretty clever. ;o)

Norton Internet Security 2006 will "do it all", but it consumes a lot of your computers resources (ram memory).  But for most casual users - it doesn't matter.  Don't let that part put you off.  I've been using Norton for 3 yrs and it works great for me. \n\nThere are also many free programs out there that work but you will have to do research and ...  in the end it sounded like you want something simple.  let me know how it goes...   dixlexicsd@hotmail.com

McAfee AntiVirus and Norton Security Suite are both excellent, but they are HUGELY expensive ($100+), and they clog up your computer's speed. McAfee also offers a free standalone tiny antivirus tool called AVERT Stinger, but it's not that great. Don't even bother.\n\nYou can get free antivirus software online, and some of it is very good.  I personally use AVG Free Edition from Grisoft, which uses very little memory and is very good, although it runs an update every day. Other people prefer Avast! Home edition because it looks cool. However, it's really not all that good. Still more people prefer AntiVir XP, which is an EXCELLENT antivirus scanner, but uses more memory than AVG. \n\nHowever, to ensure that your computer is 100% safe, pair your antivirus software with some spyware and adware blockers too. Try downloading AdAware SE from Lavasoft, Spyware Blaster, and Spyware: Search and Destroy. All are excellent and will help keep your computer very safe, all for free. Remember to update them...\n\nAll of the software mentioned can be found at http://www.majorgeeks.com\n\nP.S. JibberJabber is wrong. PC Magazine rated free antivirus suites, and all of them, particulary AntiVir, had excellent catch rates. Although they aren't quite as good as paid solutions, you can use other software in conjunction with your antivirus software to make your PC safe.
