I've tried so many virus programs. I went without for a while, and got infected, and lost all my data on that unit. Fortunately, I had backed up using MozyHome Remote Backup, an online backup that is very reliable. Before restoring (in case my backup was somehow infected), I loaded the free 90-day trial of Microsoft's Live OneCare Windows Live OneCare safety scanner: Free online tool for PC health and safety. It found the infection, and has worked seamlessly ever since, and caught many trojan horses along the way. I ended up subscribing to it for all my computers

I have used SYSTEM SUITE Professional for the last 9 yrs. and wouldn't think of using any other program. It has an A/V-A/S and firewall, and other utilities.

I second what Bundo said. One subscription can be used on three computers.

AVG 8 is a very good one too that has both anti spy ware detection and anti virus detection. It updates and scans automatically. Best part it is free and works well. It can be found here AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition - Free software downloads and reviews - CNET Download.com
