Need some suggestions on programs :)

I need some suggestions on some programs. If possible I need these programs in freeware. Which brand is the best in each category:

Antivirus?
Popup Stopper?
Trojan Scanner?

I'm using AVG which I like but was wondering about suggestions on a different one. And I've used Zero Popup but it weighs down my Internet Explorer too much and also freezes up on me. Also I need a Trojan Scanner that isn't complicated. Just need one that scans for trojans, keyloggers, everything trojan related and removes it. I would really like all these in freeware. I'm so tired of going to stupid crack sites. Thanks for any suggestions. :)

Whats your OS? How much RAM? That info would help.

Alll Free
& good

antivirus i like nod32 best...but you do need the crack it. ;)
in service pack 2 (for xp) the internet explorer has a built in popup blocker, but the google\yahoo\msn toolbars all have a built in popupblocker as well.
i use trojanhunter for trojan scanning.

Symantec Corp
Admuncher
TDS3 and Trojan Hunter are #s 1 & 2

alll i have to say is dont go near NAV

I've been using AVG for about 2 years now, without a single problem getting through. It's even paid for!!! (but not by me :P ). I wouldn't recommend anything else, it just sits there doing it's job, updating itself when necessary, and using almost zero resources. I suggest you stick with it.

For ad/spyware I use ad-aware and spybot and again once installed I haven't had a single problem (spybot recently found a 'trace' of cydoor (a minor registry entry I think) after I tried the supposed "clean" version of exeem, but no actual problems).

a2 is a freeware trojan/dialer/worm/spyware scanner. http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/free/
Avast 4 Home Edition is a freeware anti-virus program http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html
I use Firefox. The built in popupkiller is awesome (even on "some" sites).

AV: Kaspersky.
Popups: With WinXP SP2 I've set IE6's internal one to block all except those at sites I list (such as filesharingtalk). If you use IE and this feature is available to you, I'd say try that.
Trojan scanner: I've been looking at these the last few days and Trojan Hunter seems to be highly respected, at least by the folks at Spywareinfo.com who host Spybot.

Freeware was asked for.
1. AV - Avast! home edition
2. Popup Stopper - Pop This!
3. Trojan Scanner - ewido security suite
Bonus
4. Firewall - Sygate personal firewall

Try "Total uninstall" freeware a nice app that does what it says.Wish I knew about it before I installed many apps..Works very nicely with those timed application :) http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4396
