"Best" is an opinion and opinions are like........Do you get the
picture?
The thing you need to do is download the trial or free versions of
different Virus scanners and see which one fits your needs and your
preferences the most (one at a time of course) Also do a google
search on reviews and read to make an informed choice of your own.
Personally I would try and stay away from those so called "The
works" packages that do numerous tasks such as firewall, system
monitoring, anti-spam and anti-virus, but make your own choice after
you do some research.
Heres as good of place to start as any
