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!)
 
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!
 
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. 😉
