Hi holo4ever.. Why not give a try avira antivir personal classic edition. This can be downloaded at www.free-av.com I have been using this software for almost two years. Since using it, I have never experienced any problems at all with regards to the overall function and system performance of my machine. Othewise, I am so impressed and satisfied with its performance. It updates on a regular basis and can be scheduled at your most convenient time. It is very light on resources and does not use a lot of memory. Hence, does not slow down your machine.
Hope this would help.
Have a nice day and God speed!

I use AVG free edition, its a free download off the web. A friend of mine who is a programmer uses it because he tested it and it found 4 viruses he didn't know he had. Avast is also good, and free. Norton is a resource hog and has compatibility issues.
The best paid one that I know of is Trend Micros

if you ask me then i will def recommend you bit defender. it s a very good anti virus software and also its has a nice firewall. it uses less of your system resources which is again very important. there are other big names like the norton but it uses a lot of resources of your computer and slows it down

I use Mcafee anti-virus.And I think it's the best anti-virus in the market.It updates itself automatically.

I would agree with Doncris for the most part had I not had a horrible experience with Norton. Both Avira and AOL active virus shield do a better job than most paid programs, and Avast is almost as good

for free antiviruses avast, avira and active virus shield have a better detection rate. I was satisfied with avast, and am presently using AVS

Well...Hi to you...
Antiviruses are of imense use, I didnt knew that fact untill I started to access a broadband without proper iternet secquirty! Then within a few days my XP collasped and then I had to buy a $30 Net Protecter Antivirus system!
It was the first time I actully buyed a Sowtware!
I think net protecter is best, because Norton slows system very much and you have to buy Mccafe which costs dearly!

I use Kaspersky Internet Security 6.0, highly recommended. Other you can use BitDefender. I think these Antivirus are much better than Norton or Symantec Product.
