Hey guys,

Recently, I have been using AVG Free Edition, AdAware SE and Spybot S&D to do all my anti-spyware/malware/adware/virus stuff. I am wondering however, are there free programs out there that do an equally good job, or an even better job than these above mentioned programs?

Another thing I'm wondering about is whether there is a program that automatically detects a virus running, and then shuts it down right away. So you don't need to do a virus scan every time...if the program detects a virus running in your processes it automatically kills the infected process and deletes the virus. Are there any such programs?
