I've never really used anti-virus programs before.
(Always thought it was a waste of ram to have it running in the background)
I know how to take care of my computer well, and whenever some spyware comes up, I just System Restore to get rid of it.
Been doing this for the past 8 years, and it's been good.

But lately, it seems virus' have gotten better, and the last one I had that
attacked me last week actually corrupted my System Restore, and forced me
to reformat. So that was pretty annoying.. and now I have a new problem already after reformatting for only a few days...

I guess it's time to just use anti-virus program. I just want a basic one that detects stuff, don't need a over the top crazy one that takes up all the ram
or blocks out everything so you can't run anything without some prompt.

Or is there programs that act like a firewall and anti-virus, 2 in 1 kind of thing?

Any help appreciated.
