Agreed, one program is insufficient, and some AV programs
are better than others, for virus, trojan and rootkit
detection.
A lot depends on whether you live dangerously, if you
buy your software, and don't P2P it from doubtful
sources, you are less likely to get infected. If you
visit sites to view people doing the most amazing
things to each other, in many cases inventing
novel uses for common everyday objects, you
also need a good hardware firewall. Then use
ShieldsUp until you get "Congratulations, you
PC does not appear to exist on the Internet"
No response to pings, no unnecessary open
ports, your BIOS can't be seen.
