Norton Anti Virus
charter highspeed security works well for me. a lot of my friends like avast.
if you dont want as many viruses just be careful what you download. dont go to websites that you arent sure about.
Norton
AVG-Free addition…As an add on without any interruption, include Stinger (go to Keyword on tool bar).
It’s free and worth having on ur comp.
There technically is no "best" antivirus, since they all share their own set of flaws/false detections/missed viruses/ect…
Lots of people recommend Kaspersky for antivirus, Malwarebytes and SUPERAntiSpyware, and I recommend Comodo Internet Security for it’s good detection and EXTREMELY well made firewall.

but i spelled it wrong
It’s not a program.
Good security requires a multi-layered approach, and the least important layer by far is running some kind of anti-malware program (in fact, if you take care of all the other layers, you don’t even need an anti-malware program using up extra resources).
In order of importance:
1. Create and use almost exclusively a limited user account instead of the default administrator account Windows sets you up with
2. Read up on social engineering and how to avoid it
3. Don’t download illegal copies of software, music, or movies
4. Set Windows updates to install automatically
5. Make regular backups. If possible, back up your entire installation (using Norton Ghost or Acronis True Image)
There is no Best…..
Here`s a few to get you started…
These AV`s are all free and good. I prefer AVG, been using it for 3 years with no problem.

Obviously McAfee. It does cost money but it is the best investment for Anti-Virus. It works quickly and efficiently, plus the Site Advisor tells you which sites have been tested for spyware and viruses. Actually, most of these guys suggested virus/spyware programs that have viruses and spyware.
