I prefere AVG, although I use Norton Corp. Edition (since I have a licensce for it, and so put it to good use). The norton 2004 is bad, and so is McAfee, they have just had a problem with there defs, picking up a false postitive.

Symantec AV Corperate ed. and AVG are the two that I've seen work the best. I don't even consider McAfee. I've heard some good things about NOD32, but haven't actually see it in action.

NOD32 by far - most efficient software I've used.

McAfee....ack...not really on my list of AV either. There are recent reports of computer having McAfee eating Applications

If you are looking for a free AV, I'd use AVG. Paid version, I would say NOD32. I believe it was written in another thread that Microsoft uses NOD32 to keep their systems clean.

"In fact, Microsoft itself is a four year customer of Eset and the software giant has just signed on for an additional two years of service. Microsoft places so much confidence in Eset's Nod32 antivirus product that it uses the software in its release labs."

I like avg,of course one of the reasons is that it`s free,but I have never been infected by a virus,so far, it has caught every one that I have come into contact with.
