A good antivirus program??

The best one possible is malwarebytes. Use it to periodically scan your HDD. If you pay it gives live protection and I normally use it paired with norton 360 "free" for the life protection. But MBAM is the most up to date anti virus.

Oh okay, for those who recommend me in downloading the anti-virus program, I will download them. I should do it before my subscription ends. Thanks for the help.

You can try Microsoft Security Essentials. Its the "The anti-annoying, anti-expensive, anti-virus program" as stated on their website. I use it and its working great so far. Its free from microsoft.

I was talking to my brother earlier and he told me that AVG isn't all that great. He recommended I tried COMODO or Avast.

Hey there, in my 2 Years with experience with anti-viruses, I'll go with it briefly:
KASPERSKY - Can take up to 200MB [Updating and scanning] / I didn't have a single problem even till' now, and is very SUSPICIOUS, it will detect even the sites you are viewing, like banners and stuff.
NOD32 - Small, compact, takes little ram and effort to clean files / good at get ridding of autorun's, .pifs, .bat, etc. BUT it's weak at some specific viruses like KJ.exe
AVAST - Takes a LOT of ram especially when SCANNING and very laggy / good for beginners or people who don't download much.
McAfee - Sucks, slow, worthless / Seriously, DONT BUY THIS, ITS WORTHLESS, I've used it for a time now and almost every virus I know bypasses, it may seem the scan is cleared, but when you restart, blue screen, and BAM! your computer is a fast a calculator.

Avast is my recommendation, it's really good, yeah it's a lil memory hungry it's not exactly the greatest on something like WXP if you don't have 1GB of ram or more but it's really good. The best feture about it, is he boot time scan where it scans for viruses before your computer loads up which not alot of AV have this. This is good cause alot of services of Windows get in the way of AV seeing certain viruses and this scans before they start so it can get rid of everything. Scanning is one of the quickest out of the AV too.
NOD32 is really, really good, I'd say definately get that if memory is an issue, they lightweight, efficient and to me the other best choice to get if you can't handle Avast. There ahead of the game when it comes to AV updates and scanning is quite quick on them too, they pride themselves at speed and efficiency.
