Hi, maybe I can recommend avira antivir personal classic edition. This can be downloaded free at www.free-av.com I have been using this software for almost two years. Since using it, I have never encountered any problems at all with regards to the overall function and system performance of my machine. Otherwise, I am so impressed and grateful with its performance. It updates on a regular basis and can be scheduled any time you want. It is very light on resources and does not use a lot of memory. Hence, does not slow down your machine. I would also suggest superantispyware as your antispyware software for your machine. It does its jobs pretty well and very effective.
Hope this would help.
Have a nice day and God speed!

i use Bit Defender 10.it's a great program, very easy to use.It has included a firewall and a anti spyware, very cool.I think is one of the best Anti-virus on the internet

I will have to investigate AVIRA... I have spybot and use it regularly - Interestingly, I also use The AVG version of anti-spyware software and that routinely finds different errors from spybot - I recommend trying another anti-spyware to see if it picks up anything AFTER you have run Spybot.I reccommend keeping spybot though, because that finds errors that other programes don't...
Thanks very much for your input

I am currently using kaspersky internet security 2007 and I didnt have any problems on anti virus ever since. I used norton before and it slows my computer. I also used avast but i get a lot of false alarms. I used Mcafee and its the same as norton (my pc is crawling) because it runs a lot of processess on your system. Try kaspersky internet security. you can download it (trial) to http://www.kaspersky.com (its complete from anti virus, anti spyware, firewall etc..)

Hi there livewyre.. Before I used AVG (for free), but its not too secured that i get spywares all the time. SO installed the AVG anti-spyware, it didnt work either.. then I shifted NORTON (which I purchased) but I had so much trouble with it because its too secured that it even blocks wireless connection on my PC. So I went ahead and search for something that is not too secured and not too "lenient".. ehehe (what a word!).. I found AVAST. I like so much because it give a loud siren noise when it detect a virus or spyware. And the one that i like most is when it updates the software, it talks! yeah it talks! "YOUR VIRUS DATABASE IS NOW UPDATED!" its cool!
