  Free antivirus is just that – antivirus.
  No firewall, no anti-spam, no anti-spyware…

  That said, avast is the best free antivirus.

  PCTools products do get good reviews. The good thing is they have free versions of their products. They work great. Spyware Doctor from the Google pack is a must. I highly recommend it. I bought Webroots Spysweeper and spyware doctor finds stuff spysweeper does not. Having both is a perfect combo and I recommend running two anti-spyware products.

  PCTools Anti-Virus

  PCTools Threatfire – Malware Protection
  This free tool makes your current anti-virus better. Definite Download

  PCTools Firewall Plus

  The Google Pack includes a free starter edition of Spyware Doctor.

  You can do an online scan for viruses and spyware for free from the major vendors. Some of these require Internet Explorer to run because of Active-X

  Trend-Micro
  Computer Associates
  Panda Software
  Symantec Security Check
  Mcafee Free Scan
  Kaspersky Scanner
  Microsoft Protection Scanner
  F-Secure
  BitDefender
  NOD32

  Its good to run two anti-spywares even if some extra resources are taken.

  SuperAntiSpyware does an excellent job. AVG’s full version gets great reviews.

  Adaware

  Microsoft Defender

  AVG

  Spyware Terminator 2

  Spybot Search and Destroy

  SuperAntispyware

  Anti-Spyware for a cost.
  Personally I bought Webroot’s Spysweeper, their product is great and well worth the money. Watch Best Buy ads because sometimes it goes on sale for $10 to $15.

  Webroot Spysweeper
  PCTools Spyware Doctor

  There are free anti-virus scanners availble. They work well. I like AVG and PCTools anti-viruses the best of the free anti-virus programs.
  If you are not willing to spend money it is good to have some kind of anti-virus software

  avg

  avast

  Avira AntiVir

  ——————-

  For a Cost
  This is my recommendation for anti-virus. Free are good, but they are not as accurate as the top paid anti-virus software

  Top-Tier
  Kaspersky

  Nod32
