I use F-Secure (laptop), Kaspersky Anti-Virus (at work) and NOD32 (at home).

NOD32 at the moment, i can get free BitDefender through my ISP protection system and i'm still supporting and using avast! from time to time.
I like to switch these AVs alot so...

Antivir because I am a little hard up for cash at the moment:wacko: I use ClamAV as a backup scanner. Would like to use NOD32.

Avast all the way, the only other alternative I would consider would be Anti Vir.

My favorite is NOD32, but the new incoming KAV will be also great and for free the excellent avast! ;)

NOD32 for real-time, McAfee for on-demand scanning of my pc. (Yeah, they appear to be playing nicely together, of course, one of them is always turned off!)

I have tried the rest and Norton Internet Security works very well for me.;)

I installed Norton Internet Security 2006 last night, and it is a very complete program. It was $75 well spent(well my mother-in-laws money well spent...it was a gift ;).

Hmmm ... another AV poll.
My vote goes again to AVG.
Free of charge, automatic updating, automatic scanning, email-scanning.
I only wished it was a little more silent, but any disturbing popup disappears automatically, which is a comfort.
After six months using AVG, I ran the trials of NOD32 and KAV. No threats found either. Discipline also works. :)

Using BitDefender 9 Standard at this time, so that is what I voted for. This could change at any time. For some reason, I can't seem to stay with any one AV for very long. :) I do like BD though, so maybe I stay with it for a while.

CA's Etrust.
Not because I have complete faith in it but because it seems less bloated than some others. Has minimal negative performance impact on some of my older systems.
Too shy to go naked. :P

Wow I'm impressed so many AV's represented in members choices. NOD32 resident & KAV 3.5 on demand, btw.

Avast Home Edition serves me well, and also using several on-demand back-ups scanners... just in case. ;D

I've been using Kaspersky as my on access scanner for 8 years now and I also run Nod32 and Dr. Web as on demand.

I am using Trend Micro's PC-cillin, and turn off all but the real-time virus scanning.

I have never really gotten my hands dirty as to what AV is the best. I did switch over this year to Trend Micro. I gave up Symantec’s offing after noticing it was severely reducing my Disk I/O. Trend Micro seemed to get a good review at CNET.

I see many folks using the NOD32. I might play with this a bit. Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
