Is this an ad campaign,scaring us into shelling out $$$??? The scan on Antivir,(the pop-up,not the program I've been running),is telling me things like my documents/photos etc. are infected,is this the truth,or total bunk? I'm tending to think it's a scare tactic,disguised as an on the level protecetion alert. Any thoughts?

It is the only one which could defend my computer from hijackers. No other software could do it. It’s simply great. ;) Most successful software

It's a wonderful utility that downloads, installs, updates, and runs several of the utilities you listed above like Ad-Aware, Spybot, and Spy Doctor. The best utility I have found for those who do a lot of tech support. You can show anyone how to use it, or just set it up, click Start, and walk away.

Get a router & configure. I brought a pre-installed Vista from Dell. Comes with Trend Micro. Pretty comprehensive all-in-one package. I've run the online scanner of ESET & Kaspersky later on but they couldn't detect anything. Best firewall is the hardware one. Get a router & configure. I brought a pre-installed Vista from Dell.

It has features that rival most of the paid for products -realtime shield protection, HIPS, integrated antivirus (if required), daily updates, scheduled background scans. A friend of mine recently had odd problems, nothing major just enough to annoy him. Internet access slow and hard drive spinning wildly at odd times. He had run AdAware and Spybot along with his virus software but they found nothing. Spyware Terminator found quite a few spyware problems and several adware items that the other two popular apps did not find. I agree with the comment about Spyware Terminator.

This one really should be on this list. If you want to know about the best and worst firewalls check out http://www.matousec.com/ and you would know Zone Alarm Free is not that great of a product while the pay for version is a good product; go figure...Yes Ryan I know how hard it is to keep up, I don't think Online Armor was available in a free version when you wrote this article. Plus the programs are ever shifting and being updated. But that's where the comments can be quite useful for small updates and for sharing ideas.
