Nod 32. The interface is quite light compared to other solutions and they get very good reviews for virus catching

Avast AVG always works for me

sanitarium16 · 03-07-2008, 02:40 PM

Grisoft AVG. I used to use NOD32 but i found that AVG works better.

And they support Vista X-64! Been using Avast for a while, seems to work quite well. Found a few odds and ends since I installed it. Can't complain at all!

ClamWin. Don't know if it works (yet), but it's for WS2K3 running inside a VM, so... who cares?

Torx · 03-07-2008, 03:20 PM

kaspersky

just stay on top of av-comparatives.org and you'll get all the info you need on whats best.

AVG, with an occasional "Housecal" to Trend Micro... just to be on the safe side.

Justin3 · 03-07-2008, 04:00 PM

AVG- free, easy, effective.

MSP · 03-07-2008, 05:19 PM

Avast

Goofus Maximus · 03-07-2008, 09:10 PM

We're cheapskates, and AVG is free. Subscriptions for teh lose.

hans5849 · 03-07-2008, 10:11 PM

Nod32

-Sevendust- · 03-07-2008, 10:13 PM

nothing

but if i think i have a virus i use avg if needed.

Sparky · 03-08-2008, 12:47 PM

Common sense.

Smart web browsing has kept me virus free since I stopped downloading big titty porn in 7th grade. Seriously, even my mother is a savvy enough computer user to know better than to click suspicious links.

tex · 03-08-2008, 01:01 PM

Symantec Endpoint. For serious. Its what we sell all our clients at work so I have to have it on my system for appearances sake. Its actually kinda nice one you manage to configure out all the bloat.

that and linux. oh snap.

Torx · 03-08-2008, 01:20 PM

symantecs corporate products have always been a hell of a lot better than their consumer product line.. i dont know how the corporate line stacks up today, but from what ive known its always been better.

i seriously suggest checking out
AV-Comparatives

they do some serious testing and post results in a nice pdf format with graphs for comparisons of detection rates, speed, and false positives, etc

i think when my kas subscription runs out, imma give nod32 another try.. i didnt like it a couple years ago, cant remember why
