Definitely get Live OneCare 2.0.

I use it and it works great. I've had no problems. Simple to use, clean, and you can even back-up some photos for free.

I also use it's PC hub function, where I can monitor up to 2 other PC's to check their health. Plus, who else knows their system more than Microsoft? OneCare is designed to integrate with Windows.

Norton 360 is basically a copy of it. Plus it cost more as well.

OneCare cost about $50 a year (and in some cases, $15), Norton 360 is $70.

I have used AVG Anti Virus, Zone Alarm Firewall, Spy-bot Search and Destroy and Ad Aware both spyware killers for years. They are all free for personal use and I have had no trouble with Viruses Trojans etc. AVG does not slow the system down as much as some other products and Zone Alarm allows a lot of personal configuration unlike the Windows Firewall. They can all be downloaded from the following link. http://www.computeractive.co.uk/... On the home page select downloads and then the appropriate category.I also use Windows Defender from the Microsoft site. It is safe to use two anti-spy products but never use more than one A/V as it can cause conflicts. You should run A/V and anti spy weekly. Hope this helps
I use Norton 360 for Vista.

I bought it at Fry's and its free after rebates.
Heres the best antivirus out there in my opinion, it keeps me protected for over a year now and i haven't had to worry about anything ad it's easy to use. Just try it out:
