There is not a single software that will guarantee 100% protection. You can use McAfee, Norton and others. But you need to do the following inaddition to having an anti-virus software.

These are best practices to protecting your computer/laptop:

- Perform monthly updates of Microsoft patches

- Perform daily updates of your Anti-Virus/Firewall program(s)

- Perform daily updates to your Anti-Spyware and Adware program(s)

- Perform a weekly scan of your hard-disk for viruses/spyware

Best of all know your computer. When you are connecting on a wireless network

- You see your hard-drive flashing solid green and you are not doing anything. Your computer/laptop may be infected.

Have two separate logins on your computer. One with admin rights and another with regular rights. Always use the login with the regular rights. If someone hacks in during your session. The hacker is limited to the account with regular rights and can't do much.

Always have a backup of your computer/laptop for restore purposes.
