I'd go for NOD32, I used to have it on my company, it's awesome, and possibly the best. But, Avast! here, since it's free.

I recently brought KIS.

I like how KIS7 work. I have used it a lot when it was in Beta.

Before I was using free AV. Avast was nice, Antiv also but there where a anoying pop-up at every updates that even kill my game/movie if I was in Full Screen... :/

I didn't liked my experience with ESET (NOD32) suite. As people say, it's a light AV, but I felt that it was way too skinny.

Avast +1

Eset Smart Security for me. I've just renewed my license for a second time so all in all, I'm very pleased with it (Y) .

I was thinking about trying it, at the moment I have the license for ESET NOD32.

How are you finding Smart Security in general?

ESET Smart Security here.

I wish I could change my vote. Bloody NOD32 let through a trojan onto my shared network drive, one of my other computers runs Kaspersky and it picked up and removed the nasty thing in seconds.

I got fed up trying to make eset antivirus 3 work so I switched to bit defender 2008 antivirus. To date I'm impressed with it. I tested it before buying it and also tested kaspersky 7 and 8 beta as well as clamwin. Of all of them I preferred bitdefender 2008. It updates hourly or less and can scan http traffic. Any one else tried Bitdefender 2008 Anitvirus?

avast! Antivirus

[mr kuji]

kaspersky have never let any baddies in.. and only once had a problem when an update caused it to bomb out.. they are the only guys iirc that "speak to the bad guys".. good old ruskies.

Up until recently I had been using Symantec AV Corporate forever.

Then I decided to switch to NOD32 because I was having some memory and cpu usage problems with Symantec's AV. But for some reason NOD32 is giving me cpu usage problems too. When downloading with firefox for exemple, the download doesn't complete (it freezes firefox) and NOD32 cpu usage goes to 50%.

Now I switched to Avira Antivir and it works great with very low memory usage.

I've been looking into it for my new laptop, and BD and KAV seemed to alternate 1-2 in many tests.

Use NOD32 2.7. 3.0 still needs work.

[TheTempestSonata]

i think i've been reading that norton and bitdefender are considered teh best now.

[Joey992]

It's so sad to see that Nod32 has fallen from grace as of late. I like KAV these days.
