    BlackICE Firewall - Great firewall, one of the toughest, VERY resilient to hackers in comparison with others.

    Nod32 - This has done me no harm, not a hog, so it seems fine for me.

    Microsoft Antispyware - Best anti spyware proggy.

    Norton- excellent system completely recommended

    AVG Anti-virus 7.0


    and ofcourse: HitmanPro.


    I suggest that one. HitmanPro is very good anti-virus software.

    norton internet security <--- cost like 40 or 50 bucks but worth it...has alot of stuff including the regualr virus thing...stops alot of things...has a firewall and all this adware and spyware blocking :D

    EDIT:
    pop ups too...no need to buy more than one program right...

    i used to have norton, but it let us down bad so i switched to Mcafee. i have heard Avast AntiVirus Pro is very good, havn't tried it though. not sure how much it costs either.

    Man, this just sucks. I think i got an virus. (Thats why i asked for this)

    But mcafee will automnaticly go on disabled and updating or scanning doesnt work

    Norton's quickscan failed and installing gets an fatal error.

    AVG 7.1 Can't update.

    An virus?

    I aslo scanned with the online scan from trend micro. 12 viruses found (lol) and deleted. But it still can't install or scan with any virus scaners.

    Any idea how to fix?
