Well i use AVAST ! ANTI VIRUS HOME EDTION given in the DIGIT MARCH 2005 CD issue.

well it does a preety good job and cleans thoroughly.
But plz suggest me sum other softwares as i will be getting the MTNL's so called BROADBAND seva known as TRI-BAND so i will be needing sum softwares installed on my PC to keep away from viruses,trojans,spy wares and also needing a firewall to keep my PC safe from hackin or deleting my files.

Is it recommendable to use softwares of gifferent companies on the same PC like a combination of AVAST! ANTIVIRUS HOME EDITIONa nd NORTON FIREWALL/INTERNET SECURITY??

I use Linux. Thats the best security software :)

Under Windows, I use ZoneAlarm, Norton Antivirus, Spybot S&D and try to avoid using all Microsoft products.
