Kaspersky 5 Bitdefender 8 and Mcafee 8 are the tops at the moment. Take your pick.

Wow...that site does not seem to be firefox friendly, their results don't display right. Anyhow, my vote is for NOD32, I've never seen a more efficient and better antivirus system.

I've used it, but NOD32 is just perfect. Not only does it have incredible heuristics, it also doesn't degrade my system's performance like other AV's do, like Kaspersky. NOD32's detected viruses sent to me through those heuristics before they were in any definitions. IMO, NOD32>*

clamwin - gnu scanner for windows 🙂

My vote is still Trend-Micro PC-Cillin 2005 which comes with a firewall too.

Agreed :thumbsup:

I just switched to Kaspersky 2005 Personal this weekend. The only thing I dislike is the autoprotect. Even if you set it to "high speed" (lowest protection) it still makes certain apps slow to load. As an example my hard drive seeks like crazy for ~10+ seconds when I try to load UT2K4. I just right-click & disable the auto protect.

do you mean VirusScan Enterprise 8? Because if not, I believe there's a VirusScan Home 9 or even higher out atm.
