whats the best antivirus out there for my computer?

I like AVG, it updates automaticly everyday. It's caught things that Norton and Mcafee have missed and best of all it's Free.

It is free and from Microsoft so if you are running Windows XP then in my opinion you can't beat it.

Here is a clip from the source...

Get Windows OneCare Live Beta

Windows OneCare is a comprehensive and integrated PC health service that helps protect and maintain your computer with antivirus, firewall, PC maintenance, and file backup and restore functionality. This new service is in beta testing. We invite you to try it out and let us know what you think!

Read the installation requirements and release notes.

What is a beta?

A beta is a pre-release version of a Microsoft product that we've opened up to public testing. In this case, we're asking regular folks like you to install and try out the different features of Windows OneCare. Take it for a test drive! And if you want, tell us what you like and don't like. Your feedback will help us make Windows OneCare the best possible when we bring it to market.

At this time, participation in the Windows OneCare Live beta is open to U.S. residents only.

According to me McAfee is the best available antivirus software.It gets updated regularly (automaticaly).

Kaspersky Lab! By far....See link. You want kaspersky for win workstations...
