I think kaspersky is the best out there,if you are wondering its not free well you can always get keys for registration,in order to make it a full workable one.
Well its features are that it is light,always have updated virus list,have easy to use cleanin system and provides the best rescue disk out there/
I used to use norton,mcafee but they slowed my computer to such a great deal that i didnt want to even log in cause the computer crashes and freezes all the time.
Then i tried Avg i thought it was ok,although it couldnt detect some viruses so i didnt bother using it anymore

i have used kaspersky also.....it detection and removal rate is higher, with good firewall and anti-spyware but it slows down the speed of web browsing many time...

so leaved it ......i prefer bitdefender total security ....its working good for me..

has a good firewall , antispam,....with vault facility, encryption, tuneup, privacy control....and lot more features....

The first one I had was Norton Antivirus because it came with the computer - it was awful, it seemed to be responsible for so many problems with crashing and slowing the computer down. I use AVG Free now, and haven't had any problems with it.

normally....freeware versions dont catch any virus......i had used avast free home edition...which was the worst of all...never detected any virus....hehe....

but dont about avg.....best of luck friend......

Wew Norton ad McAfee is a Popular one, its defense in exceptional, but the thing is, it really slows down your computer too much and its a pain in the umm.... neck LOL

I am curretly using Avast 8 Pro and its working fine, but in a few months, virus popped out from nowhere, so i used AVIRA, its kinda handy but it can really make you feel secure... My viruses are gone...

My favorite is Panda Antivirus Profesional 2009. Cheaper with good performance. Many years, I trust the Panda Security Software. It's so mild and run faster on my computer ever than better.

So, try it for free and you'll satisfy with this product.

I used this for more than 5 years. Please, try it before you die. :)

I have found that no single anti-virus software will catch everything, so it is best to have multiple programs to help catch ones that others miss. I use Norton Anti-Virus and Webroot SpySweeper. I find that these to programs together help keep my computer in top running condition, and there are things that one will catch that the other doesn't.
