Kaspersky is good. They are Russian so they likely write half the viruses in the first place.

Eset NOD 32 is also excellent.

I like Kaspersky. It's found a couple of bugs since I upgraded. Eset you can run free through your browser.

I highly recommend going ahead and paying for the full version of Malwarebytes and getting the real time protection, malware is much more likely to cripple your system than a textbook virus.

Microsoft Security Essentials IMO

Malware Bytes additionally is good too

I use the free version of Kaspersky, and format C when that doesn't work.

Microsoft Security Essentials is free actually, don't need to buy that. Really low footprint on your computer (doesn't lag you down), integrates very seamlessly with windows.

Yup MalewareBytes you buy for Pro, I think it is worth it. It's not much either

Other things that help are PeerBlock (free) and just having a good adblocker and you've protected yourself from 99% of the viruses and malware out there

I've heard plenty of good things about Kaspersky.

Bitdefender also isn't bad.

NOD32 or Kaspersky if you want to pay for it, otherwise Avast or AVG.

Buy Norton and I'll hire black african jew prostitute to slap you with his shamalamadingdong.

I like NOD32, doesn't really use much in the way of resources.

Been using Avast since McAfee allowed a virus to destroy a hard drive a few years ago. Have not had a single virus since then or any other malicious program since.

I use Avast because it's free and decent.

Here is a recent head to head comparison of the top ones:

I used that for about 3 months years ago. My computer slowed down to a crawl and my email started sending stuff without me even asking! I bought Kaspersky and ran it. I had 57 viruses.

I bought full version of Malware Byte and got Microsoft Security essentials for free. Do I have myself covered or do I need another program? I would have paid for just one suite. But I guess buying individual is better. Gaming is unbelievable on this new machine. Im digging it. I still dont have sound, though.
