What Anti-Virus program is the best to buy?

Hi Jim
The only thing that got rid of the Trojan StartPage.1 was from www.NoAdware.net it will cost you $35 but if it dosn't work then they will give you your money back. I'm sure it will work for you.
But start with downloading some free software and try that first eventually building up to some you have to pay for.
On my system I have Antivir, Spybot Search and Destroy, Diamond CS TDS3, Spyware Blaster and NoAdware.
All available through Google, most were free downloads others were ($8) and ($35). All have their own strengths and weaknesses.
All the sites I have listed are trustworthy so no worries about saying yes. Dont bother with Norton it does not work very well and says the system is free when it is still infected.
Good luck!

I use AVG Free Edition having used Norton for many years.

Norton AV is slow and takes up an unnescary amount of valuable system resources.

However I do also occasionally use some online AV ( just to check that AVG is doing it job )

On price you would have to say AVG Anti-Virus. It is free for personal use!

Most AV programs cost and many only come with subscription to new definitions files for a certain period. You need to update your AV very regularly. New worms and viruses go around the world in a day! An AV program which cannot be updated because the subscription to new definitions has expired is not really worth having. Check out what subscription these packages come with.
