I don't recommend going out and buying "sumthink eles" when you can download FREE antivirus and antispyware software. I recommend using AVG Antivirus, SpyBot Seach & Destroy, AdAware and Windows Defender. They are all FREE and they don't hog your system resources like Norton tends to do.
I have compiled lists of free antivirus and antispyware software.
