    Using more than one can cause a conflict that could put you at risk

    Yes, it drained my pc to hell and used all its resources, not very recommended

    I hope your not running them all at once, it would be system resource hogging and they would definitely conflict with each other.

    Now for my opinion I think NOD32 is simply the best, I did a review on my blog and also if you don't believe me you can check out AV Comparatives

    Never heard of this one before - but a friend said it's a way better than AVG, Avast - almost all the free anti viruses software out there. It's call RISING. I'm currently using it at my laptop. work fine so far.

    The best performance ratio ( defense/resource-eating ) goes to Kaspersky in my opinion. I am using it since 2006 and I am pleased by it's performance. BitDefender had a word to say in the old days, but now it's more like a eater than a protector. As for norton, nod, f-prot and others, they seem to have missing data about some treats. I once had NOD, I scanned and found nothing, then uninstalled it and tried out Kaspersky Antivirus 2006 and found 3 trojans. That convinced me to use kas 4ever :)

    KasperSky Antivirus is good one for virus protection.

    Hai dude! If you are for free antivirus, then go for avast. If you are in favor of paid version, then I feel McAfee is the best :)
