Best Anti-Virus/Spyware?

Post by CrimsonNuker »

I've just reformatted my computer and now I have no security on it. It pains be to ask this, but what is the best anti-virus/anti-spyware program? (Perferably one that runs with little RAM usage in the background)

As of now im thinking of AVG Internet Security 8.0 and Zone Alarm PRO 7.0

I used to combine AVG+zone alarm, and attempted to do the same when I switched to Vista. Zone alarm+vista had issues (couldn't close programs AT ALL, so hl2 would stay open).

I love AVG, just because its lite, but it hasnt got the best detection rate.

Nod32 does not detect MOST key loggers which is bad IMO. I have a friend who is a white hat hacker, he recommends "kaspersky" trust me i tried it and it detects almost anything.

Spyware = Spybot search and destroy.

And if you're clever, you wont need any programs anyway.

Symantec Anti-Virus Client.

I've never been infected with a virus since I've had it, and I go through a lot of warez, and hacking progs, so I've downloaded loads of viruses and it always picks em up and takes care of em. RAM @ 6000k never takes more than 7000k.
