Internet Security Help?

Alright, so I’m doing this again, because I was a little confused the first time and need some more advice.
I have an HP computer, its about 2 or 3 years old (shut up =)
but I love it to death.
It came with Norton Internet Security AntiVirus 2005, and I guess it’s been working okay.
I’ve heard a lot of people complain about Norton, and I’m looking into buying new software.
So what should I get?
I need the spyware, the virus, the spam and all protection.
I use Firefox ALL THE TIME!
I have AIM.
I want something easy, fast, helpful, and at a suitable price.
So, what should I get?
=P
Where can I get a free, reliable, and auto-updating anti virus software? ?

I’ve been looking all over the place and I have tried avg and avast (are these good?), but extremely slow. I want a great free one that has no spam, spyware, or anything else like that. Thank you for all of your time and patience on commenting this.
Please help me with my computer?

question about viruses adware etc?

For about a week now, my internet has been getting interrupted by a popup from system doctor 2006 it’ll will keep sending me to the page cannot be displayed screeen and the first thing that it suggest is to install system doctor software to clean my PC. I already have eTrust software to check for viruses and spyware but somehow it didn’t notice this. So I was wondering, is system doctor 2006 legit? How can I solve this problem? I also have a protection bar toolbar that I can’t get rid from my browser. All of the links take me to one of these sites:

I have never heard of any of these products. Any help that is given is appreciated.
