People you should try NOD32 believe me its a very good antivirus, there are alot of people with different opinions obviously but i have tried Norton Mcafee Tren Micro and found NOD32 the best low on resources and high detection rate, Mcafee and norton are not too bad but they are what i class as bloatware and trend micro aint far off it!

I will be re-formatting my XP sp2 box soon. I'm using NIS 2005 right now. If I were to change, which of the three would you suggest?

1. Kaspersky Personal Security Suite

2. Kaspersky Anti-Virus Personal 5.0 (and use the Windows firewall)

3. NOD32

Thoughts?

Go for 2 and use a dedicated firewall.

I'd have to go with AVG. It doesn't seem to bog down my computer until it's slower than heck. It's also caught viruses the second they got on my computer.

afaik, AVG, avast and symantec are the only AV companies that offer support for windows 64 atm. but im sure more will come in the following 6-12 months until windows vista is released. think both mcafee and f-secure are soon to release support for 64 also.

and more ontopic, im currently using f-secure client security 6.0 that offer me complete protection againt all kinds of malware.

I prefer BitDefender over all, because it has the highest detection rate out of all free AV's (according to virus.gr), it has a free Linux version, also, and is DARN fast at scanning. It's probably the best scanner for Linux... I compared it to KAV, AntiVir, F-Prot, Mcafee linux versions, BitDefender found the most viruses (out of about my 800 or so collected), and it's the fastest by far, also.

Now, AVG is good, and has a lower system resource overhead, but the detection rate sucks (~50%).

As much as I like the name Avast! (Pirates! ARRRR), I use Windows OneCare. It's pretty cool. Low memory footprints for the win!

SAV10 for me. Never has failed me, pretty good with resources, and gets updates often.

I am of course the paranoid one, so once a month I will use a couple online scanners from various AV companies to make sure SAV isn't missing anything.
