Hey gang, i am new to this site, but it's pretty cool.

I have a very strong computer background, but I have not touched a Windows box in 4 years, which is why i am writing to you.
I just got back home, and my parents still have this old computer, it was completely infected with hundreds of trojans and backdoors...
so I had a rough few weeks getting rid of locksky.cm and other things that did not allow them to use their internet...

LONG STORY SHORT,
what's the better anti-virus programs out there nowdays ?
