kaspersky all the way for me.

I personally use AVG Free for all of my home computers as well as my clients, I really like it and would recommend it to anyone, you can download it from http://www.filehippo.com

You can also download it from AVG's site but they have it hidden away because they want you to try the professional version.

I've been using Avast free version. So far so good, no complaints. I am considering getting NOD32 though. I've heard many good things about NOD32.

AVG is better for me. It could not any problem and well-known antivirus protection tool.

Have you guys tried Trend Micro?

Avast

Free decent choices: AVG or Avast.
But don't expect a lot of them.
I can see great results from NOD32, the one i've been using since around a year, and works really good, pretty fast, and powerful so.

AVG is the best,not only my personal experience speaks but also it is extensively used all round the globe.

Well i am using macfe and i think its doing best for me ...

OK, you get what you pay for. So don't count on much from any free software. When they become viable as a REAL solution they begin to charge... I would pay annually.

I have used all free AV but not found one I really liked. But then again, no one can provide the FULL coverage. You need multiple solutions.

Check out this site for any information on AV -http://www.virusbtn.com this is a link EVERYONE needs to have. It is a MONTHLY review of all relevant virus programs and how they stack up. Each month it is different as some will leap ahead of others then fall back again. So get an annual tally of the software's performance.

Help!!!

you can use BITDEFENDER ...its one of the best antivirus

I'm still using Norton. . .

Avast is much better than AVG.

Why does no one like Norton? I've used it for a long time and not had any problems. I bought Kaspersky and had nothing but problems so I went back to Norton.

I don't want to get into the argument of which Antivirus is the most efficient memory wise etc but I have been using Norton for quite some time, in fact about 6 years to be exact and have no complains whatsover.

I have always gone with Norton, they have a few problems but from what I have experienced with them they are the best bang for you buck.

i think avira is the best for an free version

norton really makes comp too slow during scanning time specially

I am currently using AVG, and this is good. AVG also makes slow to computer while scanning. But I've used avast and I found it best for me. I'll suggest you to use avast.

These are much better than norton.

The thread is quite long and old so I believe he have tested all of the existing ones
