I need virus software with spyware protection, but I am on a college student’s budget so I need something that won’t break me but still has great protection. And I need to know where to get it.

There are so many anti-virus software programs out there now that you will be lucky if you find 2 people who agree what is the best. I use AVG 8 Free at home and have been since AVG 6 was out. I have never had any issues. The free version has no Spyware but Ad-Aware if a free program as well that takes care of that. Running both programs will have less of an impact in system performance than running a purchased virus protection program as well.
If you want to "buy" something I would get McAffee. I wouldn’t go with Norton as it gives you more problems and makes your computer slower than if you actually had a virus or two.
None. It is best to design one yourself. I mean it and am not joking.
Avast Anti virus.
FREE

From past experience, you can get good things for less these days.
I personally have used everything I’ll go over, so I do have knowledge of this, being heavy in IT.
I personally use AVG Free 8, a decent scanner that is FREE.
If you’re looking to pay, I’d go for McAfee first, and wouldnt touch norton anything with a 10ft pole. It causes a lot of conflicts, I’ve seen viruses disable it like nothing, and it overall slows your machine down, proven by countless benchmarks.
advast pro is the best i have found you can get it here

I would suggest ESET NOD 32 Smart Security which I personally use.. and it is available at http://www.eset.com
dont go for those commercial antivirus/spyware protection plans with norton or any such websites they would slow down your system and make your computer a walking hell with you just try the 30 day free-trail and then purchase it as its the most cost effective program available
Depends on what you want out of it. There is a slew of free stuff out there like Avast and AVG, but you get what you pay for. If you have an issue, its up to you to deal with it.
I chose a product called SecureIT. Its a neat little program that has the protection and automatic updating, but the standout feature I see is that I get free 24/7 technical support if I have any issues.
The best internet security software with anti virus and spy protection I have ever experienced is Grisoft AVG 8. the price is normal not so expensive but it is really powerful. find it here:
http://www.avg.com
or
http://www.grisoft.com
You can get free virus protection from AVG on the Internet. I got mine from Norton. $70 per year.
i would say the best virus protection is either AVG Antivirus or i mainly use spybot search and destroy naw thats a good virus protection and i fink it costs in the region of £10-£30
The best anti virus software? That’s an easy one, LINUX.
Avast have better detection rates for virus than AVG
see comparison test
