My satisfaction with Norton, AVG, McAffee, all have been less
than positive. One machine with McAffee, was changed to Norton,
then AVG. Finally, when I moved my family to MS Security
Essentials I found many things that NONE of the others found and
I have been much happier with the speed of the machine and the
lack of maintenance that has been required. MSSE has continuous
virus scanning as well as automatic downloads and updates - both
of which require the pay version of AVG.

This may not help rid you of the problem the email being
hijacked though. It depends on how they are doing it They may
be spoofing from an external machine that you don't have access
to. They already have your contact list and it only looks like
it originates from you but in fact it does not. There is little
that can be done besides turning off the account.
