The best antivirus of 2009 so far is the premium paid version of Avira detected 67% of viruses on the machine. The second placed Kaspersky is found that 60% of virus. The Avast detected 40% of viruses. This mean that the best antivirus is the free version of Avira.

I'm using AVG free edition.
It works better for me so far.
I experienced a real fast scan with Kaspersky (or caspersky) because it resided in the Network layer of memory instead of traditional memory. While all other anti-viruses slow down our PC, this one really didn't affect the speed. Wonderful.

Free anti-virus programs, AVG is the way to go for me. I've been using it for 6-7 years and never had any problems with viruses or spyware.

Well, I have tried many anti-virus from the time I started out. But personally, I find AVIRA a very good anti-virus. It is very fast and it is also free. I am saying this because I was able to make a comparison. I had a flash disc that I often use to different computers and scan it from time to time. It was only avira that was able to find a trojan and other viruses as compared to the anti-virus that I have installed before.

I used AVG Free Edition for years but since version 8 was release its slow down my Windows startup. So I switched to Avira AntiVir Personal. And I have no problem using it till now. Avira AntiVir Personal don't have many features as AVG Free Edition but I like it because its lighweight and do not consumed a lot of my PC memory.
