Well, I just found PC Tools (http://www.pctools.com/) and their Inter Security Tool. After researching a little while, I actually found some very good reputation not only from famous PC Networks, but also fron individual users.

Do you think that tool is worth the $29.95 a year? If not, what would you recommend me? My PC is really sufferng from Viruses, and the Trial Version alone found over 10 Viruses on it.

Dont watch porn or download it.

No but seriously, I use AVG Free for the virus side of things. Dont really know what to suggest for the Firewall or spyware part.

AVG: http://free.avg.com/

Never pay for anti-virus/security software, you can get it for free. (legally)

Yes, just as good. Try AVG for anti-virus, and windows defender for spyware, it's free.
I've NEVER had a problem with my computers, and I download like crazy.

i recomend a better browser, i dont use anything and just install an antivirus every half year for a check up, and i never get anything. the only time you get virus's or other stuff is when you go to shaddy websites.... so just stop going to those bad websites and stop downloading random files.

QFT, when you go Kaspersky, you never go back to Norton/Symantec/Nod32 etc.

It may be Russian, but they create all the Virus's right?

I just had a look at Kaspersky and read many positive reviews about it. However, what keeps me from buying it is the price, which is more than I could afford with my budget.

If you know where to look, you can get a 3PC licence for like $20

Pctools is pretty good, Heard a lot of good things about Spyware Doctor with Antivirus which they also make. I'm using Trend Micro Internet Security 2009 which is light on resources and effective.
