So I'm asking you people what software you think I should get - I don't neccesarily want freeware - just something that is reliable and will keep my computer free from disease!!
Thankyou

I can recommend AVG anti-Virus, SuperAntiSpyware and Comodo Firewall (all available free). Additionally, if you have a Vista system, you will already have Windows Defender on it. And, Windows Update will automatically give you the monthly Malicious Software Removal Tool. That should be a pretty tight system. Just make sure you keep everything up-to-date, and
pay attention when the firewall pops up and tries to tell you something is happening with your system. Obviously, beware of shady sites and never click on links in unsolicited emails. You can download guaranteed spyware-free software at
www.download.com (part of C|Net).
