1. If your company provides you with Symantec Corporate, just go with that.

2. If not, then I suggest trying Kaspersky Antivirus

• A minority of users are experiencing a strange slowdown, try the free 30-day trial before you buy to make sure that you are not part of this minority, read more here.
• Kaspersky offers a free upgrade to 7 from 6 if your subscription is good, if you decide to buy, all you have to do is enter your license key from the KAV 6 box into your KAV 7 trial to activate it, no reinstall.
• Hourly updates
• One of the best (if not the best) detection rates in the industry, see the antivirus detection rate thread to see how different antivirus companies compare in terms of their ability to detect viruses.
• Minimal ram usage and system performance impact (assuming you are not hit by the mysterious slowdown bug)

3. Best of all, Kaspersky AntiVirus free after MiR right now

We use NOD32 at work.
