Hi.Does anyone know which Anti-Virus software is the most powerful that can detect,block and erase anything virus?Also the powerful Anti-Spyware?

Hmmm not to sure but i use a mixture of Norton 2005 and spyware doc. Never failed me

My favorite combo is Norton and Spyboy S&D.

Ad-Aware is one of the best scanners. It finds just about everything. You can also get Microsoft Anti-SpyWare for free and it'll run in the backround for you.

Ad-Aware is my second favorite, most of the time i run ad-aware, Spybot S&D will find some more programs. But Ad-Aware has a geat GUI and is very easy to customize.

I use norton for antivirus and firewall for viruses and for spyware I use pestpatrol, spybot, adaware, ewido, spysweeper, xoftspy and microsoft antispyware, you cannot have too many antispyware programs because one program will catch something another one might miss. I scan with a different one once a day and once a week I do a full system scan with all of them!

PS: I also use spyware blaster to help keep spyware from installing on my computer in the first place!

Thats a good routine to have. Some people would say its overkill, but it really depends on what sites you visit, what you download etc. I run Ad-Aware about once a week and MS Anti-SpyWare about every 2 weeks.
