Had a lot of problems in the past, wondering if something like superanti spyware would be worth buying for the realtime protection, or any of the other ones. Are they that much better?
Currently I run Antivira, and run a few different antimarware/spyware programs every few days. However having a good realtime protection would be worth it to me if they work well. Any input is appreciated.

Run whatever you can, I just got a virus yesterday and am not doing anything until I bring it in to make sure everything is good. Protect yourself!

I haven't seen anyone recommend any of the for pay versions, but the free SAS is pretty good as is Avira and Avast and MBAM. Also Microsoft Security Essentials is a good option.

I wouldn't buy one. I don't think a virus scanner is worth it either. You just need to pay attention to what you're doing. clickmetoseefreeboobs.jpg.exe is not something you would want to click.
1. Use Opera, Chrome/Safari, or FF to browse the internet.
2. Don't randomly click every ad you see.

I use AVG free on my PCs - never had an issue and it has low resource usage.
