I have had experience with norton, and i decided i don’t want that. It slows the computer. I have a windows 7 laptop if it makes any difference. It doesnt matter what the price is.

The best anti-virus is Kaspersky or Norton but they are not free. Kaspersky does offer a free online scan but it doesn’t remove what it finds. Second best free are Avast and AVG and others. The Microsoft firewall that comes free with XP and Vista is quite good but unfortunately provides no visibility. If you need visibility, try the free Zone Alarm. Zone Alarm is very good but it is difficult for me to say it is the best. The best firewalls are not free. You have phishing filters in Firefox 3 and IE 7 and IE 8 (Smart Screen Filter) and AVG. It’s strictly a question of how often the phishing filter database gets updated with accurate information. It’s tough to say which is best.

Microsoft Security Essentials.
its small, lightweight, and free.
i had Norton before, but when my subscription ran out it wouldn’t let me uninstall it and it prevented me from installing a different antivirus, so i will never use it again.

Hi Adam,

You can try Registry Easy™. It scans your entire Windows registry for any invalid or obsolete entries and provide a list of the registry errors (ie spyware) found. After that you can choose to clean list items with selection or automatically repair them all.

You can find Registry Easy™ at http://www.clicktomore.info/antispyware
