    As hawklord suggests,

    Your a member at MG....you don't pay for that software!!

    That software is FREE to everyone, not just members at MG.

    I think what nitecrawler was infering is that the majority of the regular posters here on MGs dont use paid retail software but the free alternatives, rather than saying that if you didnt get that software from MGs you would have to pay.

    My personal favorites:
    Real-time Virus Protection: AntiVir Personal, Avast!, Comodo
    Real-Time Spyware Protection: Defender, Spyware Terminator, SpyCatcher Express
    Firewalls: Sygate Personal, Comodo (use with Comodo AntiVirus)
    General Protection for Internet Explorer: BHR4.5, Arovax Shield, WinPatrol10
    PopUp Blocker: GuardBar, Yahoo! Toolbar
    Virus Scanning & Removal: A2 (A-Squared) AntiVirus, RemoveITPro
    Spyware Scanning & Removal: SUPERAntiSpyware, AdAwareSE, Advanced Spyware Remover.
    General PC Maintenance: DiskKeeperLite Defrag, Disk Cleaner 1.57, ATF Cleaner, Zappit! Drive Cleaner, NTRegOpt, CCleaner.
    All of the above are totally free; some have 'Pro' or 'Full' versions that have enhanced/extra features that can be purchased. If you're determined to spend money, SpySweeper from WebRoot software is top-notch.
    I hope this list helps! All of the above (ex. SpySweeper) can be downloaded here, from MajorGeeks.

    BTW: There's another free app (not on MajorGeeks) called PrevX Home that doesn't scan or remove; it prevents infections and is VERY secure. I use it on my PC but I can't for the life of me remember where I downloaded it from. Try Google-ing PrevX and see if you can find it. I HIGHLY recommend it!
