    Is this software worth the money or are the freebies just as good? :)

    Just my preference but my protection package is 100% FREE.

    AVG
    AdAware
    Spybot
    Win Patrol
    Stinger ( on demand Trojan scan )
    Comodo Firewall

      Well, this is my preference. Also 100% FREE.

      Avira AV-with firewall disabled, but use;
      Comodo Firewall for firewall
      Win Patrol
      Threatfire

        Also free: a) real time protection: 1) Avast! (AV and anti-Spyware), 2) Spyware Terminator, 3) SpyWareBlaster (actually, passive); b) on demand: 1) Spybot, 2) SUPERAntiSpyware, 3) Windows Defender (wants to run real time but I usually use it on demand).

        Best of luck.

          I like to use ViRobot.  It's not free, but it does take cares of spyware and viruses.

          I have no idea how much it costs, but there is a 30 day trial.  http://www.hauri.net/

            Thanks guys. I just happened across a write-up on it and they claimed it to be the best thing since sliced bread. I will stick with my freebie's. :)

            I tend to use experience as opposed to following Reviews...

                What is "Superantispyware blaster"? Are you talking about SUPERAntiSpyware or SpyWareBlaster? Or something else?
