Always a tough call. None are perfect. I dislike the ones that are resource intensive and slow everything down to a crawl. Right now I'm using Advanced Windows Care with Anti-virus. Also windows firewall and Spybot Teatimer. The combination seems to do the job. On the other PC it is AVG, Adaware and Windows firewall. I have tried Norton and McAfee and both managed to let stuff through. AVG did once as well. With as many forums, email systems and sites that I deal with it is almost a certainty that one will get hit sooner or later. My best defense is regular backups. I have two external USB drives that I alternate every other week. Then I can never lose more than one week's stuff.
