I use Windows Security Essentials but it let me down badly yesterday when a Trojan Downloader (TrojanDownloader:Java/OpenConnection.J) got by and played havoc with the system.
Also let through other severe viruses.
How can I stop this happening again?
How can I close that open connection?
Thanks.

I am using Avast and I am highly satisfied with it.

Thanks.
I used Avast for a few years until Microsoft Security Essentials came along.
Never had any problems with Avast.
Strongly considering going back to it, although I think that Security Essentials
would be considered a superior product by a lot of users.

Nothing on the market can bulletproof a system, I work with lots of workstations using various AV software, ESET is a good one but cost a bit to purchase, Avast by far has the best features and speed, one of the best feature is the Boot-time scan. other than that, most are good to use, except those that comes in a yellow box or red box....
