The best anti-virus is Kaspersky or Norton but they are not free. Kaspersky does offer a free online scan but it doesn’t remove what it finds. Second best free are Avast and AVG and others. The Microsoft firewall that comes free with XP and Vista is quite good but unfortunately provides no visibility. If you need visibility, try the free Zone Alarm. Zone Alarm is very good but it is difficult for me to say it is the best. The best firewalls are not free. You have phishing filters in Firefox 3 and IE 7 and IE 8 (Smart Screen Filter) and AVG. It’s strictly a question of how often the phishing filter database gets updated with accurate information. It’s tough to say which is best.
my fav is nod 32 as it is fast on startup and is really easy to use, and it has good dection rates
dont get norton as it takes loads of resources of boot and WILL slow your pc
Norton sucks I have Kaspersky. It cost probably $75 but it scans my computer everyday and blocks unwanted things and gives you warnings and such and it never slows it down. Its great.
I Recommend you Buy Avira Premium Security Suite 9.0.0.387 http://download.cnet.com/Avira-Premium-Security-Suite/3000-2239_4-10683930.html Avira Premium Security Suite protects you in a very comprehensive way against the dangers of the Internet. It offers you numerous additional features over the virus protection offered in the AntiVir Premium Edition. In addition to AntiVir Premium, the Suite includes an integrated firewall that wards off attacks such as DoS attacks (Denial of Service attacks) or port scans, spam filtering to help you manage the complex attacks on your mail box and a backup function to ensure the safety of your data.

Personally I suggest Norton Antivirus from Symantec. I have used many antivirus programs and have found Norton to be really effective. Please check out the online store @ http://www.onestopqa.com/osqa-online-store.php for the antivirus softwares available by searching for ‘Antivirus’ in ‘Software Products’ category.
