Right now? Probably Kapersky.

But then again, some people like Avast! or AVG. They also have free versions.

The free versions don't have the built-in features of the pay anti-virus programs, but you can compensate for that by getting additional free programs.

This is a good free package:

-Zone Labs Basic Firewall

-Spybot Search %26 Destroy Anti-spy

-Spyware Blaster (automatic browser protection)

-AVG Anti-Rootkit

-Avast! Anti-virus

Norton's anti-virus is a bloated, slow program. If you want to have less file space, less free memory, and a slower computer, then that's what you buy.

McAfee isn't good either.

If you lost more than 3 GB, then that's probably due to something else. Malicious software usually doesn't try to hog some hard drive space.

For added security, don't use the Yahoo! browser or Internet Explorer. (The Yahoo! one is based on IE.) Both of those browsers allow malicious activeX controls and IE browser plug-ins to be installed without your knowledge. Opera 9 and Mozilla's Firefox don't use activeX controls, so they are much safer. They are also smaller and more efficient programs.
