If you use Outlook, I'd recommend Spambayes:

I use AVG and havent had a problem yet. Also use Cleanup after every internet session and gets rid off all the excess crap that builds up in temp folders.

Yup, thats right, I was just testing you.
I use ad-aware as my anti spam one.

Buy a MAC :D
For my windows found kaspersky to be great, would definitly recommend supose to b the best according to alot of reviews and personaly id vouch for it,, its simple and does exactly what it says on the tin.

Think its fairly cheap but you'll probly find the latest one on Torrents if you know what i mean.

Forget all the costly ways of dealing with SPAM, Spambayes is the Best

If you're concerned with computer security, get Ubuntu. It's free, easier to install than windows and far nicer to use.
