I'm using the Norton Anti-Virus Corp. Edition (Last updated 8/29) that I got for free when I was a freshman back in 2002. Just installed new versions of Ad-Aware (2007) and Spybots S&D. Ran those and found 300+ problems which have since been fixed. I'm wondering if my AV software is out of date because Norton hasn't picked up any viruses in a while. Should I stick with my Norton AV and just perform another full scan or download and install one of these programs below:

http://www.download.com/AVG-Anti-Virus-Free-Edition/3000-2239_4-10726661.html?tag=lst-0-7
http://www.download.com/Avast-Home-Edition/3000-2239_4-10721010.html?tag=lst-0-9

Any preferences? I've searched and seen that AVG has been mentioned a few times.
Pros, cons, extra information?

anti virus software isn't usually going to stop spyware.. Your virus protection is fine
