    Ever heard of Gibson Research Corp, they have a good way of testing your system for leaks and such. Once in a while I'll pop over to just see how mine is doing.
    Yes, I've used GRC utilities for a few years. I like the ShieldsUp! test to make sure your ports are stealthed. A Windows PC has 65535 (I think) ports.

    Mate personally I haven't tested Panda - Avira I have and it's pretty good.

    You don't say whether you want a paid for or freebie either - heaps out there and I think that the paid for's are pretty good value as you get support and for around $0.20 a day it ain't going to break the bank!

    As I have said many times before it depends on what you are doing with your computer and the onus is on YOU to be reckless or responsible.

    Try driving home tomorrow on the wrong side of the road or drunk and see what the difference is LOL!!

    Seriously lots of good stuff about mate and some to be avoided at all costs.

    Personally I avoid Norton, CA,Trend, McAfee and AVG. Might be an idea to have a look at some of the review sites - NOT mags they are biased by default (advertising). As everyone is painfully aware now I use Kaspersky 2012 ISS as the paid for and Comodo Premium ISS as the freebie.

    Good luck!

    Panda was a great av like 6 years ago but since then it is going down, though it is still a huge name but i stopped using it 3 years ago when it started to fail in some cases... I have no idea how much they really improoved since then

    I would go with the free avira

    What's the Best Anti-virus?
    Answer:
    Whatever you decide to use because using something is better than using nothing at all.

    If there was such a thing as a "best" anti-malware we'd all be using it.
