    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.

    Avast, AVG and Avira are all good. Which one is best depends on which one has a signature of the virus you download at the time you download it. If one of them releases a new data file at 9:00, you download a virus at 9:10, and the second program releases a new data file at 9:30 (assuming the new data files both have the signature of the virus you downloaded), the second one is useless to you. Tomorrow the situation might reverse.
    An antivirus program is only as good as the last data file you downloaded for it.

    I too just got a new laptop and wanted to put AVG on it, but I contacted them and they said they are not yet compatible with Windows 7. Sorry for the bad news. I will check out one of the others too.

    I hate Norton too, I would rather say AVG. Most internet user use AVG or Avast as their main anti-virus.
