I am a firm believer in you get what you pay for. Most free programs that people swear by on here make me lots of money. I'm not a know it all, but what I do know is from expeirience in the field or at a work bench.

Out of the last 25-30 Virus Issue service calls:, 16 of them had free anti-virus programs.

The others were because they either didn't have any or just didn't update the big ones from Symantec and McAfee.

This is worth the purchase.

Spyware is a constant issue, and spyware programs are a good way to protect against this. There are very good free ones out there that have resolved and protected many that I serve. The main difference with this and the ones you pay for are bells and whistles. The purchase in this category doesn't give me a return vs the free ones that I would look for. (I've only tried 4 or 5 different ones that I liked)
