I have Spyware Doctor w/Antivirus. I have had only 1 problem and I fixed it. It's up for renewing. Is there anything better or are they all about the same.

No, they're definitely not all the same.

Gneral consensus seems to be best paid-for: Nod 32 & Kaspersky. Best freebies: Antivir and Avast.

I've been using both Antivir and Avast for years.

Oh, and Microsofts very own Security Essentials, free to registered Windows users, is also reckoned to be a goodie.

Spyware doctor isn't worth **** IMO would be better going for antivir and windows firewall which are both free.


Btw. If your going for nod32 you may aswall get eset securit suite (which is want I use) which is AV, firewall etc.
