    Tried the AV one but it sucks. Anyone recommend a competent one that I could use?

    Also I have been using the windows firewall - but how does comodo work on it? Thanks. Would type more but typing on an iPhone sucks

    Spybot: Search & Destroy is one of the best thanks to its immunization and system settings protection.

    I would recommend downloading Ad-Aware SE, too, and scanning once a month with it to catch the occasional items that Spybot misses (every one of the scanners misses at least one type of malware), but Spybot will keep your system happy.

    Spybot, Ad-aware 2007, a-squared. And when 3.0 comes out you should get comodo.
