Recommended Antivirus

From the poll results, I see that AVG and Kaspersky are tied but I am using the AVG Free edition for over a year now and not even a sinlge infection during that period. It is a little resource hungry though, as of now it is using nearly 36MB of my RAM.

have you ever thought that may be because avg isnt detecting it? i keep both avg and kapersky on my comp...and once in every 10 runs only avg detects something that kapersky does.
 
AVG 7, I have been using AVG since it was 5, almost 4 years back and I have been hit by a virus only once, which I eventually weeded out.

AVG RULES - For its freeware, quick updates, almost daily and just about 50-60 kb, great for dialup users. Good detection rate and nice e-mail scanner for Outlook (though I don't use it ;) )

Was using Nod 32 earlier but then it failed to detect some old trojans which Norton detected on my pc. Switched to Kaspersky after taht.
 
I use Kaspersky on my main computer and on my second one I have AVG running. I like AVG - speacially for its FREE price - but recently it found a virus on a couple of files and it just deleted the files without giving me a chance to say "NO". THAT was definitely NOT NICE. I needed those files but AVG refuses to have them on the HDD. These same files are passed by Kaspersky as virus free.
 
I think Mccafe is the Best Antivirus I had used it is light weight and very easy to use it bundels with spam killer, antivirus, privacy reporter, and powerfull firewall :hap2:
 
Avast is best from my experience. Fast updates, less resource hungry and decent scanning speed. Also looks great with skins. Home edition is free also....
