Which type of anti-virus/spyware is the best?

I use Avast(Virus Shields/Scanner), Spyware Terminator (Spyware Shield/Scanner), and Zone Alarm (Firewall). These are all free and have kept my my pc clean of virus's. AVG used to be a good free virus shield and scanner but they removed important components on the free version. Spybot S%26D used to be the best spyware remover/shield but it just doesn't update enough compared to S-Terminator. Windows Firewall is basically useless. I've used most of the big name paid virus scanner/shields suites Norton, McAfee,etc... but none of them did as good a job as the 3 I'm using now. Really

you should use all 3. Avast or ZoneAlarm will give you a message that they have a conflict with eachother and to turn a

component of the other off just agree and they work fine. Run a monthly scan with avast and spyware terminator and update

them every day or set them to auto update and they will do there job well and for free.
