    It’s better to stop thinking "antivirus" programs will protect you.

    Instead you should:

    1. Set up and use almost exclusively a limited user account.

    2. Google the phrase "social engineering" and read the first five results.

    3. Install Windows updates automatically.

    4. Use Firefox with the NoScript extension.

    5. Turn off autorun in Windows:

    6. Don’t pirate music, movies, or software

  2. I’ve used many, but keep going back to AVG and Trendmicro… and Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware.

  3. Nod 32

  4. I would go with AVG, its free =)

  5. Kaspersky and Norton are very effective.
