Whats the best antivirus and virus removers i already have Active Virus Shield, norton and AVG?

Well, don't run two anti-virus programs at the same time.



If you have Norton and AVG, get rid of one of them. It's just a bad idea.



I also recommend getting a spyware/adware sweeper. If your Norton product has that, fine.



If not, then try Spybot - Search and Destroy. It's decent, and free.



EDIT (AGAIN):



If you already paid for Norton, then keep that at least until the contract is up. No point in throwing it away. But if it is a trial version, and you don't want to pay $30-$60, go free.



Both Avast and AVG are fine. I use them both. No problems.

click the "download now" link by the green icon.

There honestly isn't a "best". I have researched this quite a bit, and especially on forums consisting of expert users...and nobody has a real consensus as to the best anti-virus software. Just use what is comfortable for you.



But you need to uninstall one of yours now though.

My problem with anything Norton is that is slows down your computer radically by running a lot of background processes.



AVG is good, but I find Kaspersky is REALLY good.



AOL's free anti-virus is a watered down version of Kaspersky.
