kaspersky or AVG or Avast, all have worked fine for me. Anything but Norton.

Honestly, I wouldn’t worry about that.
Install the extensions “AdBlock” and “NoScript” for Firefox and it’s not going to give you any problems. That’ll take care of Firefox and your antivirus will take care of the rest of your computer. (Unless it won’t let you run it because it’s incompatible?)
But seriously. Those two extensions have caught everything for me… I’ve had absolutely no problems on my computer since I’ve used them. It takes a little time to get used to NoScript because you’ll have to allow it run the scripts you do want, but it remembers your answers so you won’t have to tell it every time.

New computer should have a good Anti Virus and Anti Spyware as well as a good Firewall and I would never rely on free Anti Virus like AVG. AVG has a poor detection rate and Avast is good but only if you buy the full version. Good free firewall is Comodo or zonealarm.

A good free antivirus is Avira antivir personal. Another good free is AVAST home edition. Anyway, you can use add ons such as no script and adblock plus too for added protection on your firefox.

Try a online antivirus scanner and a online anti-adware/malware/spyware scanner in safe mode with network to clean up your computer BEFORE you download anything. This because the program you download can get infected.
Disable “System Restore” for Windows Me and XP, then restart your PC to clean your system restore points for viruses, spyware, adware etc.
Now restart in safe mode.
To get in safe mode Press “F8” upon bootup.
Select “Safe mode with Networking”.
Go to Start – Run – type iexplore http://www.bitdefender.com/scan8/ie.html Enter(ok).
Do a full system scan. If something is found, delete it, reboot and do the same again in safe mode with network.
When that scan does not find anything you reboot again in safe mode with network.
Go to Start – Run – type iexplore http://www.ewido.net/en/ Enter(ok).
Do a full system scan. If something is found, delete it, reboot and do the same again in safe mode with network.
**NOTE: Do NOT do anything else with your computer when scanning. This because you can start virus/adware/spyware/malware manually.
When no one of these scanners are showing anything you can reboot back to normal mode.
Turn on “System Restore”.

You need to get one antivirus program, one firewall and some spyware/adware/malware removers if you don’t have it.
I use Norton Internet Security (antivirus, spyware, firewall, add blocker, mail spamfilter, pop up blocker etc) Ad Aware, Spybot and more on my desktop running XP Home SP2 with Firefox and Yahoo Toolbar with pop up blocker.
On my laptop i have Ubuntu 7.04. No security needed in Linux, but i use antivirus and firewall. Firefox is standard.
I have no virus, spyware, adware, pop ups etc on my computers.
Mozilla Firefox and Opera are safer browsers to use then Internet Explorer.

AVG Anti-spyware Free.
http://free.grisoft.com/doc/20/lng/us/tp…
Spybot – Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven’t intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been “hijacked” (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don’t see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free, so there’s no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer.
