Best antvirus program?

Best Antivirus program?
I've been using NAV for years. Seems to work however there have been times it found a virus and wasn't able to delete it or quarantine it. Can impact performance. Actually been using Norton Systemworks Pro for some time. Trying NSW Pro 2006 now. Doing a reformat of my system and thought I'd check on a possible new direction.

There's a long list of AV programs now. Which really do the job well and maybe come with a firewall. I have Comcast highspeed and they do offer free Mcafee Virus Scan, Firewall Plus and Privacy Service free of charge.

Any recommendations and/or thoughts?

Thanks!

The Consolodated Security Thread has a couple pages worth devoted to this topic. I'm not nice enough to give a direct link, though. It's stickied. Enlighten yourself.

Vote: Kaspersky AntiVirus 6.0 (try the free trial for 3 months!)

Antivir for me. Like Mango said, read the sticked Consolidated Security Thread. Really great info provided in there.

I vote Kaspersky.

It really depends on what you like and what you are looking for in an anti-virus program. The best free anti-virus IMO is avast! The best non-free one being Kaspersky. NOD32 is another great option. it is really low on system resources and scans extremely fast.

I currently use avast!

aVg or AntiVir for the free cheap people like me... NOD32 for people who can afford to buy stuff.

Paid: Kasperesky and NOD32 coming in second last time I checked.

Free: Anti-vir along with Bitdefender Free as a back-up on demand scanner. (and Teatimer+/MS anti-spyware). Use that along with a limited account and you're more than sorted.

That said I'm using AVG and Bitdefender as backup because of AVG's low resource usage and the fact I just don't get infected by stuff. That and I have ad-aware, spybot, ms-antispyware, ewido, a-squared, bazooka, cw-shredder, anti-vir and hijackthis among others if I ever did.

I use Norton - Is NOD32 that much better?

Really, what's the Official Security Thread good for these days?
