Best program for total security.

I am looking for a program that has everything built into one.

Antivirus
Spyware
Adaware
PC Tuneup

Any ideas?

Bitdefender Total Security 2012 - BitDefender 2012
Panda Global Protection 2012 - Download ANTIVIRUS 2012- Free Global Protection 2012 - BUY - PANDA SECURITY

Last time I used Bitdefender, I was very satisfied. I've never used any product from Panda, but I've heard they build good and reliable software.

I prefer and install Microsoft Security Essentials. Is it the best? I am not sure, all that I know is it works and has a small footprint. For users who do not trust free applications, I then install Kaspersky. I have read good things about bitdefender.

I would never use a "do everything" suite. I will mix and match the best individual apps.

MSE
Malwarebytes
CCleaner

None will stop all malware. There is no such thing as perfection.

For the most part, PC "tune-up" apps are snake oil, but...

CCleaner and Revo Uninstaller Free are the only two tune up programs that I use.

Note: When uninstalling stuff with Revo, use caution, sometimes it can uninstall more than you want removed.
