    I'm using that one, it's free* even the definition update, and it is working with Outlook... Well I don't use Outlook anyway but it might be a good point, AVG scan in and outgoing email.

    * I didn't check but I guess this is free only for educational or personal use... not commercial (i.e in a company...).

    Norton 2003 best IMHO.

    Macaffee even latest pro edition is pants, too damn slow, takes up too much CPU for VShield. Deletes longs of infected files cause its not clever enough to be able to clean them.
    AVP, Fprot used to all be v good a few years back..now? nope

    We use Sophos Antivirus in work.

    Works well, does everyting it needs to do and is very good for remote management.

    Another nice touch is that staff in a company using Sophos are licenced to use it at home.

    Grisoft are vely slow at bringing out updates, even to there 'professional' version, which is not free.
    I'd reccomend f-secure as a solution.
