so what software should you really have, which one is better as well as packages and such. or is there another virus protection program that you can buy that is better than these two?
There are two things in this world that piss me off... irrelavant answers to questions, and warm vodka.

There is a free antivirus program available that's better than those two, according to recent antivirus testing.

To quote from my linky below:

Two of the best AV products I have found are Kaspersky and NOD32 . The edge would probably go to NOD32.

Some good FREE alternatives are:
AVG Free Edition
AntiVir® Personal Edition Classic
Avast! Home Edition
If you are considering buying a "security suite" from either Norton or McAfee, I would instead point you to Kaspersky Internet Security 6.0

Have a peek at my linky below for more info and tips.

The three Free options in my post above are all solid choices. You'll find people who prefer AVG, but I like AntiVir the best of the three.

If you you want to turn your jet engine into a horse and carriage use Norton or McAffee. Kaspersky is my favourite pay antivirus software. Free stuff...hm...Avast I guess

I downloaded Avast, but now it says Version Tracker Pro... Is that correct or did I leave out a step? I am confused.
