    Whats the best Anti-Virus

    Hey, I'm currently Antivirus-ness-less (if that makes sence), anyway, I'm looking for an anti-virus I can trial, and then maybe buy, if there's a pro and a free version.
    I am using SuperAntiSpyware (So I'm not really, antivirus-ness-less) but I need another program to back that up, and protect me from virus's, more than find just spyware, even though SuperAntiSpyware does a great job at finding Spyware.

    Heres my specs:
    Asus X50RL Laptop
    2GB RAM
    Windows Vista Home Premium



    Cheers if you can help

    Hello Reattach,

    A good free antivirus program is the Avast Home Edition. You have to register once a year for a license number, but it's still free.

    FREE avast! antivirus 4.x Home Edition, anti-spyware & anti-rootkit for Windows


    Another good free spyware program to use is Spybot Search & Destroy.

    The home of Spybot-S&D!

    Hope this helps,
    Shawn

    Everthing Brink recomends is perfect.

    I prefer NOD32, but I only load Avast on peoples systems that don't want to spend the money.

    But the best protection would be NOD32.
