I have been using Microsoft One Care however, they are doing away with the service. It has worked like a charm though.

AVG is free.

Also - don't forget SpyBot and Ad-Aware.

I fully recommend KasperSky - blows most (perhaps apart from Avast paid) out of the water.

agree, kaspersky is a very effective product

avast is cool but has heavier drag on speed

With Kaspersky. I decided to try them out, What does it mean detected? There are 7 things that they say are very dangerous but I am confused to how to get rid of these dangerous programs.

Go get the free version of malwarebytes, let it update & run. let it remove everything it finds. Never seen it to have a false positive yet. For rootkits, gmer is awesome.

kaspersky undoubtedly the best.
I used to have nod32 earlier but a recent infection of W32/Malas-H strain made me switch to kaspersky quickly. Nod just couldnt get rid of it.

That's what I use ;)

I also recommend ESET NOD32. Excellent product with low overhead. On Krossat comment, I've always had success in blocking inflection and thus never had to do a clean-up with Nod32.
