Avast is a great free (for home/personal use) anti-virus software, they also provide a very effective cleaner that has saved me a few times.

I think a great tool you left off is Nod32 by ESET. It rips through anything. We have the Enterprise version running on our 230 user LAN. Works like a champ...way better than McAffee did before.

You left out
-Banging your head repeatedly against the keyboard
-Going to the pub instead.
Both work for me.

I use Avast and Spybot and set a scheduled task for them to run, that way I don't forget. They're both great programs and I'd reccomend them to everyone.

I'm currently using Panda, but I've used ZoneLabs, Symantec, McAfee, and Trend over the years and they've all got their plusses and minuses. I have found some of the Open Source stuff to be VERY good, too!

Avast is the best antivirus and troujan remover I could find, And it is free. I have had troujan on my machine and could not get rid of it for ages. A friend introduced me to avast and it took the problem away. So avast 100%.
