I've never been a fan of the ISP provided security tools, but from what I hear, the Shaw Secure package is decent. You don't need more then one anti-virus tool though so don't worry about relying on just one.
To cover the basics you need:
- anti-virus (you should never need to pay for this unless you are a business)
- anti-spyware (Windows Defender and Ad-Aware should cover you)
- Don't use Internet Explorer 6. I'd recommend Firefox or Opera to be safe though.
This is assuming you have Windows XP or Vista. If you have Windows ME/98/95... well, that's like bringing a knife to a gun fight if you connect it to the Internet.
