Reformatting computer? what's are the best softwares?

[bonoz]

Hello,

I'm going to reformat my computer and I was wondering what are the best spyware/virus protection software(s) to use?

I usually used Microsoft Antispyware for spyware protection, and Trend Micro's PC Cillin?

Are there better options?

Thanks

Either buy Mcafee, or Kapersky.


or If you are cheap, Use AVG Free.

Are those Virus protections or spywayre?

Mcafee is both, there are 2 different AVG's. (both free, just 2 seperate downloads)


I think Kapersky is both.

So is my combination (PC CIlling/Microsoft Antispyware) not a good one?

they're decent... but most prefer 3rd party vendors who most ppl trust more than microsoft... but i like windows defender (even tho its a microsoft anti-spy product)
