If you want to pay, go for Kaspersky or Bitdefender. You get great cover balanced with ease of use.
If you want a freebie, use AVG anti virus which runs in the background and add Bitdefender 8 which is passive (you use it to scan suspect files.)
You also need anti spyware and you can get that free. AVG anti spyware is great.http://free.grisoft.com/freeweb.php/doc/… -AVG anti virushttp://www.bitdefender.co.uk/site/Main/v… – Bitdefender 8 doesn’t run in the background and can be used as a second back up anti virus.
You need all these anti spyware programs;http://free.grisoft.com/doc/20/lng/us/tp… – AVG anti spywarehttp://www.safer-networking.org – Spybot Search and Destroy anti spyware. Use the Teatimer settings to protect Internet Explorer, and the Immuniser to stop malware getting on your pc.
Spywareblaster works with Internet Explorer and Firefox. It won’t uninstall spyware that is already on your pc, but it will prevent hijacks and other malicious changes to your browser.http://www.javacoolsoftware.com
Plus;http://www.lavasoft.com – Ad-Aware SE Personal anti adware
And these are useful utilities;http://www.mozilla.com/ – Firefox web browser.https://addons.mozilla.org/search.php?q=… – Adblock Plushttp://www.ccleaner.com – Cr*pcleaner Registry cleaner and privacy tool
Winpatrol is a handy utility that will manage your startup programs and cookies.http://www.winpatrol.comhttp://www.siteadvisor.com -MacAffee Site Advisor warns about malware on sites you are about to visit.
For most people the level of protection offered by the free versions is ok – as long as you are sensible online. For example, don’t open e-mails if you don’t know the sender, check out links using MacAffee Site Advisor before you visit them.
I have used AVG Anti Virus, Zone Alarm Firewall, Spy-bot Search and Destroy and Ad Aware both spyware killers for years. They are all free for personal use and I have had no trouble with Viruses Trojans etc. AVG does not slow the system down as much as some other products and Zone Alarm allows a lot of personal configuration unlike the Windows Firewall. They can all be downloaded from the following link. http://www.computeractive.co.uk/ On the home page select downloads and then the appropriate category.I also use Windows Defender from the Microsoft site. It is safe to use two anti-spy products but never use more than one A/V as it can cause conflicts. You should run A/V and anti spy weekly. Hope this helps.
A good choice but so is NOD 32
Download the AVG free versions of antivirus and antispyware. far better than Norton and Macafee, which renders xp unstable. Try it. What have you to lose?
I’ve had it for years and had no problems whatsoever. I think it’s Grisoft.com
In My opnion you you should purchase avast it’s good belive me.
If you install kaspersky then you will not able to install any other antivirus or firewall.
KAV is an excellent choice!
#3 is free and uses the Kaspersky engine!

Enjoy!
Kaperky works much better than Norton. I don’t know of any free software that will come close to either. However you can download a 30 day trial version of Kasperky for free to see if you like it before buying it and even do a free scan of your computer at:http://www.kasperskyusa.com/partners/aa-…
