Anti virus/ anti spyware

[F083153WM]

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,

Cohen

Good free anti-viruses are Avira personal edition (www.freeav.com) and avast! I prefer Avira because it's lighted on resources.

Use the following Anti-Malware\viruses, they're free, good and recommended, there's no need actually to spend money buying one:

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 1.36

AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition 8.5.285

Microsoft® Windows® Malicious Software Removal Tool

Spybot - Search & Destroy 1.6.2

Use The Following As Windows Cleanup Tools :

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