    Hey all, I usually install my anti virus software in a friends computer (usually norton 360) However this year I am having lots of problems with the latest version (I wont renew with them again!!) So I also downloaded PC Tools Spyware Doctor. Could someone recommend a good one please? Thanks

    Microsoft security essentials if your running a genuine copy of windows

    AVG free is my next bet

    The new Avast Version 5 is very good, free as well.

    Microsoft Security Essential if you want free.
    Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 if you agree to pay for.

    I agree,been useing it for years and it's never failed me, if I get a virus the weekly(some time every day theres an update) will kill it.

    Avast is the best AV in my opinion, been using it for 9 yrs now. Used AVG before but find Avast has the best real-time protection of all AV's plus no scheduled scans, etc. No muss no fuss.
