AVG is preferred among technology bloggers although it can identify itunes as malware...

Now that's what I call smart software.

AntiVir or AVG and Avast

avast is the best ;D

And what about Spybot ( http://www.safer-networking.org/index2.html )?

I use it and it works.

Go for AVG. Or Microsoft Security Essentials, which is actually supposed to be pretty good, I've read.

BitDefender or ESET.

I recommend that Microsoft one that was linked earlier. Unobtrusive, doesn't slow down your system and just works (and free with no 'pro' version or ads).

First AV/AS program I used after 3 years of none since I disliked all of the previous options.

Yep, the MS one is very good- I just switched to it from Avira myself.

I seriously just had to check my eyes. Considering your user icon is the Canonical/Ubuntu logo, I can not believe that your best reccomendation is the Microsoft free antivirus, lol.  

 

I'd say go with AVG or Avast....More-so Avast

 

And Might wanna get MalwareBytes and Spybot Search and Destroy as well.



Just waiting for that PS Vita to come out so I can play some full featured games on the go with that beautiful screen and control scheme...
