1 x Firewall (I use Sygate Version 5.5 Build 2710)
1 x Antivirus (I use AVG Free)
1 x Antispyware (I use Spybot S&D)

Note: Spybot has a GUI glitch, it amazes me that they haven't fixed it yet.
I will post the 'fix' for it as soon as I remember it or find it.

I'm afraid you have a severe problem, you should really get it checked out.

AVG is fine, PC World said it was clunky, what is clunky I wonder?
AVG has never claimed to be anything more than Antivirus software.
You want clunky, save up your money & get the latest & greatest from Norton. (CLUNK)

Try AVG scanning in safe mode.

I haven't tried Avast so I can't comment on it.

If I ever get a Trojan then Ewido would be my 1st choice.

Ive found Adaware has been made redundant by Ccleaner which I use every day.

Tea Timer protects your System Settings.

I hope this helps you.

ty it helped me and im gonna try out anti vir ,but how can i get my comp checked out i just reinstalled windows so will the virus still be there? and i should get rid of adware and keep ccleaner .my worst worry is not detecting anythin like before i used avast alot and had no problems but then i  got avg and it detected viruses that it couldnt remove what i believ is that the viruses were on a disk? thats y it couldnt remove it,and lastly is that what is ur schedule for scanning spyware,viruses,ccleaner,defrag.cleanup all that, how often do u do it ? ty

how can i get my comp checked out

You only need to get your computer checked out if it has a problem.

i just reinstalled windows so will the virus still be there?

A clean install will eliminate all viruses.

and i should get rid of adware and keep ccleaner

Keep Adaware but if you use ccleaner first you will see that Adaware won't find anything to worry about.
Adaware offers no realtime protection anyway.

i  got avg and it detected viruses that it couldnt remove

Run AVG in Safe Mode.

what i believ is that the viruses were on a disk? thats y it couldnt remove it,

AVG should have told you where and what the 'virus' was.

what is ur schedule for scanning spyware,viruses,ccleaner,defrag.cleanup all that, how often do u do it ?

Ccleaner daily.
Registry cleanup weekly.
Defrag weekly.
AVG scan if I'm bored.
Spybot scan if I'm bored.
Online scans if I'm bored.

I probably over do a lot of this stuff but it makes me feel good.

to make it easier im makin alist since im not at my house for the stuff to do to my comp remove adware should i keep windows defender,and get avg again and use 1 firewall the sygate 1,then with this stuff takin effect my comp should be runnin good right? oh which program like limewire would u recomend?p2p file sharing program for downloadin music and such.ty

Now all we need to do is work on your punctuation.

What protection did you finish up using?
Firewall? Antivirus? Antispyware? Etc?
