what is the best/good antivirus not free?

A very good, free anti-virus available to download is AVG 8 AntiVirus:

Or Avast! 4 AntiVirus:

And for any spyware problems, get SpyBot - Search and Destroy:

Also, for protecting your personal info and files, use Ad-Aware 2008 Free Edition:

All of them are free, as powerful as paid programs, like Norton and McAfee, and don't use up as many resources.

Just boot into Safe Mode (Press F8 when turning on the computer) and run full scans.

Hope that helps.

Twister, an upstart from China....surprise!! Rave reviews and it actually seems to work. They also have a free firewall though I'm not sure it's Vista compatible though the anti-virus program certainly is. I'm running it with a firewall from Rising (another chinese program) and it runs great. It takes up little resources and it seems to catch everything. It has a FREE 90 day trial and their firewall is FREE too. I use it with Spyware Terminator and I have no issues.

ESET NOD32 Antivirus is the best. Also, ESET Smart Security has the antivirus + firewall + antispam + antispyware all in one.

Norton is no good. It hogs ur computer resources (Slows down ur PC).

Download the trial from: http://www.eset.com/download/registered_software.p...

I use Norton Antivirus, and it seems to work well for me.

AVG Free 7.5 and Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware. Together they are awesome. If you have the extra CPU to spare, go ahead and get spybot search and destroy. All of them rawk! Ahem... Really, though. Google should solve the 'where do I find them' question. Just google 'malwarebytes' anti-malware download' and 'spybot search and destroy download'.
