Can you please provide the specs and comparison with other software?

I know my husband's company uses AVG. I know nothing about it to tell you anything else. If my husband was awake I could give you more answers, seeing he works in the company's IT department.

The best protection for you would be an internet security program.
It gives complete protection. anti virus. anti spyware, firewall, anti spam and much more
I tested/used 5 different programs the last 12 months. Here are my top 3



3rd place - Bitdefender Total Security - good - 8 out of 10

2nd place - Panda Internet Security 2009 - very good 8 ½ out of 10

1st place and in my opinion the best is
ESET Smart Security.- did find infections
the other programs missed - very good 9 out of 10

Since a couple of months ESET Smart Security 4 is protecting my system.

For further protection you could install these 2 free programs

Threatfire is an anti virus, that can be installed next to any other anti virus program on the same computer

This is a very good program, that completely runs in the background

You asked for the best protection

Now you know which one it is

this is not a question you should be asking here, but being that you have asked it then the only advice one can give is the renown operating system as got to be Linux. or Unix which is the operating system that is used by businesses governments and universities all over the world. in fact the Internet is run off Linux.

All the top computer manufacturers support Linux for there business systems. Microsoft is now surrounding itself in partnerships with the bigest Linux companies like Novell and Redhat Linux so that their server software will interact with Linux on virtual enterprise servers

It only becomes a security problem when using Microsoft operating systems and application software has MS software is being hit on average with 12 viruses a week now,
