I'm biased, but McAfee has the best engine without doubt.

Currently working on VirusScan Online. You can take a look at it here http://uk.mcafee.com if you need any advice just ask.

Antivirus first. Firewall next. Then, if you have children Privacy Service.

I kill my Spam emails with the delete button, but some people get it bad. In that case Spam Killer does the job.
