Best virus protection to use

I have been all over the internet and no one agrees. What is the best anti-virus program to use. Also which ones should I stay away from. I have an idea of the ones I should stay away from but I would like some input from everyone.

Avast

As far as what is "best"...I can't answer that, sorry.

I use Avast home (free) and have been very happy. My computer: WinXP / 512MB RAM / 1.4GHZ Celeron. I switched from AVG free when I began to have trouble w/the updates.

Here is an article from PC World that rates Avast as best free AV.

On a similar subject, if you are looking for a great free firewall, try out Comodo. I dumped Zone Alarm (was eating up my system resources), and Comodo runs so light you hardly know it is there.

Best wishes.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
