    I have found that not all AV programs will stop everything out there.

    So I use Avast, Malwarebytes, Super Anti Spyware and CCleaner, (keeps the registry clean) all free, that way things can't slip by the one AV program.

    You also MUST keep the AV programs updated (I do it daily) as the dark ones will try anything to FUBAR your computer.
