Personally, I use the AOL AntiVirusShield. Don't let the name AOL scare you. AntiVirusShield is made by Kaspersky which is one of top-rated anti-virus vendors in the world.

In recent tests, the most popular free anti-virus, AVG, was only able to detect about 82% of a very large sample of viruses. On the other hand, AntiVirusShield was able to detect better than 99% in the same test.

AOL AntiVirusShield has excellent virus detection rates and is extremely light on using your computer resources.

Free to anyone, AOL member or not.

Spy bot, Ad-Aware, Ad Avast, AVG and CWS Shredder. They helped me get rid of a spy-bot (recommend by a friend of a friend) and I highly recommend them all! Norton didn't detect the virus the in tire time!! Norton can kiss mine!!
