    Well I bought both McAfee and Norton 360 to test them both out and I would say they are both brilliant Anti-Virus'. However McAfee seems to use more system resources than Norton 360. I haven't had much experiences with other programs apart from Panda, Norton, McAfee and BullGuard.

    I agree with AVG, free and quality software.

    If any of you are in university, you should really look at your place's IT office. They often give this stuff away, if only online and with a password

    I'd say TrendMicro. Never had any problems with it.

    and the battle between nod and KIS fans continues

    i used nod for a year till i got a cool memory virus that completely messed NOD up, then switched to kaspersky internet security

    i use KIS for more than a year and i NEVER had any problems

    NOD32 all the way !
    McAfee is alright, though, I guess.

    I've been using Kaspersky for a couple of years and all I can say is that it's the best. Before that I used Nod32, but it let some viruses in, which kaspersky neutralised and scince then my PC is as clen as a leaf :D

    Personally I use Kaspersky. It used to also be the recommended software of choice when I use to do contract IT work by the company I worked with. As a reseller there was great profits in it as well.

    Cheers
