Just looked the other day at consumer reports 07 buying guide. Trend Micro suite was the best by far for all this stuff at fifty bucks/yr. Kaspersky did not rate well for the av only version that cost money.
The test results I have read show Kaspersky to be a resource hog. I would not want it on my trading PC.

What the heck, i got ad-aware and spyware-search& destroy, two of the ones you mention, i get regular updates?
Every other day.......
And it seems to me they dont do much at any rate.
It depends what they update....
I have Ad-Aware and Spybot Search & Destroy but I don't use them anymore
Anyway, Spyware Terminator will protect your PC real time and it's free
For offline scan I prefer:
A-squared (free version)
Superantispyware (free version)
HiJackThis (now powered by TrendMicro)

That and a good hardware firewall is all I need.
Try Comodo or Jetico

How bad is Norton? My new pc came with it of course. I haven't installed or enabled it because of all the bad things I have heard about it slowing down a pc and hogging resources.
Do I need to delete/remove it from my pc?
If it isn't installed does it still negatively effect a pc? I'd imagine if it isn't installed it isn't a problem?
Also I keep getting that damn annoying Norton pop up window each time I boot up my new pc, is there a way to prevent that from happening?
I just got a new Dell Vostro and have only downloaded Avast and Spyware Terminator, anything else I should consider installing on my pc for security?

Norton is pathetic. It doesnt even do a thorough search. Get rid of it and go for McAfee.
