    I've used AVG on a few machines. www.grisoft.com. Don't know if it's the best but don't see anything wrong with it, keeps my machine clean.

    i use norton antivirus and norton internet security - i find it to be the easiest to use but afaik macaffie and trend are also pretty good

    i found avg to be good but not as hassle free as norton - but it's free

    Ditto - It's got to be AVG FREE from www.grisoft.com

    And while you're at it, if you want a great FREE firewall then get "Zonealarm" from www.zonelabs.com

    AVG is grand, in many ways better than paid for Norton.

    My fav is NOD32 although not free, its the dogs danglies.

    On the subject of Norton..... http://www.nod32-si.com/awards/cnet_zdnet.htm

    I would stay away from Norton anti-virus:confused: its a piece of crap

    I would recommend the following...
    *AVG:
    *Sygate:
    *Bit Defender:
    all free download's of course:D

    www.download.com or just google them

    ClamAV is good for e-mail and scheduled scans.

    AVG is grand however I've found it to find alot of false positives which can be REALLY annoying, I use Norton myself :)

    Norton is brutal:mad: , it kept telling me i had a virus but could'nt remove it. I downloaded AVG and it found it and removed it no probs.
    I recommend AVG, BIT DEFENDER or SYGATE, all can be found on...
    www.download.com...free of course:D
