I've always used Symantec anti virus software with good results...
Only time i got a virus was when the last edition expired..

4 simple things. AVG Free, like helbus said, Zonealarm Free, Spyware Dr like the schmobugger said, and keep windows updated..along with all those programs. If you do that then you can't go too wrong.

is this the time to ask Santa for a Mac and never worry about it again...Zone Alarm...and make sure you install and get it running before you hook up the modem. You can also try a start up manager from CNET for FREE - handy to disable things that like to run when you start up and never notice.
