Danny,
We have PCcillin on one machine and it's been doing a very good job.
It's an Anti-Virus which is different than an Anti-Spware/ Adware solution.
It auto-updates often and is easy on system resources. ($10.00 after rebate)

An AV alone does not completely defend your comp, that's why they are trying to sell you an Anti-Spyware solution. By the way, that's too much $.

Suprisingly, some of the best comp security solutions are free/ donation ware.
I've got AVG free on another machine and it is just as good if not better than PCcillin.

You need a Firewall, Anti-Virus (one only), and a Anti-Spyware/Adware array (a combination) just one is not enough according to the security folks.

Search the forum for a thread called The Perfect Balance
