MalWare

I was wondering how many of you run active Malware apps on the =
computers. I have Symantec running, but it obviously not designed to =
stop Spyware and similar.

Usually I just deal with it when there are problems. I just download =
Spybot and Ad-Aware and run both in safe mode and reboot. But today, =
one of my teachers got the XP Antivirus 2008 Spyware, and I went through =
eight Anti Spyware apps before Malwarebytes finally removed it. =20

I was just wondering if I should be looking for something that I should =
install on all the computers. I know on my personal computer I find it =
really slows it down, so I turn off the antispyware service and just run =
it once a month or so to clean it up. =20

(BTW: We are a PC school and use Firefox for 99% of internet use.)

Thanks,
