I'm looking for recommendations, I'm thinking about either Norton 360, XoftSpySE, or Shield deluxe 2009.
I am also open to other recommendations, I have a Dell desktop with windows XP and an HP laptop with Vista.
Thanks for your help!!

If you looking for good Anti-Virus protection, i would recommend Avast, it's free, and is updated everyday, it's very good . I use it on my XP Desktop and use it on my Vista laptop and have not had a virus on either of then, and it has stopped many connections on my XP machine.... so it is very.

Good Luck,

Using combofix without supervision is not recommended. Wrong use can mash your operating system!
