yes it's another of those bad hit malware spyware worms and what not infested pc's crying owner.

guys i've been searching the internet a lot for a solid security step up and this is what i've got to share apparently Norton Internet Security 2011 tops the chart The Best Security Suites for 2011 | PCMag.com

now i have KIS 2011 installed and up to date on my system and still some malicious exe's went unnoticed , i installed Malwarebytes Anti Malware and fortunately those exe's are gone for good. although i'm still not sure if i should clean install my hdd or not , because it's a lot of data and too much time consuming , as a security measure i've not accessed my net banking since then.

feel free to post in with inputs guys , looking forward.

dude is the demo of spy sweeper fully functional ? some of those out there are really KLPD ones , they allow you to scan but then they want you to pay 40$ to get rid of it.

I am also paranoid about security these days. I have lots of pirated software on my windows , so I only use ubuntu for credit-card/bank transactions.

but isn't 3 user's license meant for a purpose of installation on three separate computers ? how can that be prohibited ?

hehehehe diplomacy is not your virtue :P ... btw most of the keygens and cracks and registry keys are themselves malwares so beware dude , because it wont take much effort for them to spread onto different partitions very soon.
 
^ even if its meant for installation on three different comps its meant to be used by only one individual, not three.

There is no NOD32 in the tests :(

bro i can assure you NOD32 is no where close to KIS and Bitdefender , infact NOD32 was my 3rd switch after Norton and it screwed my PC left right and centre , since then KIS has been to the rescue but apparently there is another layer of security required so looking for a better option for spyware removers.

so far Spyware Doctor with Antivirus 2011 looks decent to me (by reviews not tested)
