[Kid Shamrock]

Avast & Prevx ;D

[icr]

Currently using AVG IS 2011:)

[thanhtai2009]

My vote: Kaspersky, Immunet Protec, Emsisoft AntiMalware

[sweater]

Eset NOD32 still the best, especially of catching in the wild viruses, very lightweight in resources and effective in detections with fewer or no false positives.

If Avira Antivir has few false positives or no false positives then this would be also the other one for me.

How do you like Panda Cloud Pro? Has it caught anything?

[mercurie]

I checked a record number this time, Norton, AVG, NOD, & MSS Essentials. Course I have more machines now than I use to. ;D

You are very brave man. Keep it up and more power. :D

[xxJackxx]

I own licenses for:
Kaspersky Internet Security
Norton Internet Security
ESET Security Suite
Outpost Security Suite

I voted for Kaspersky because it is the only one I am currently using mostly due to the fact that it causes me the least problems of the bunch. Too bad I have to pick the least bad instead of the best one. I'm not truly happy with any of them. :(

[Page42]

I voted avast, but removed it two weeks ago and replaced it with Prevx.
More importantly, I added Sandboxie too. :)

[codylucas16]

I voted Avast. Since the release of 5.0 it's been the top AV I've recommended to everyone and with the release of 5.1, the acquisition of a IS key and the fact that they've fixed all the problems I've had with their software, I've switched to it.

[Debby747]

None.
I thought about the possible/probable ways my system might get infected through and sandboxed my browser/PDF viewer in Sandboxie (+ FF addons NoScript, AdBlock, CSlite). Microsoft EMET is configured to maximum security.

In the rare cases I download an installation file from an untrusted source,
I check them via VirusTotal.com (API, "send to").

Once a month, I let Microsoft's MRT do its default check and check with Emsisoft's Emergency Kit.

[Kerodo]

I alternate between MSE and Avast. Those are the only 2 that really work problem-free for me. They also both seem to be pretty good in general. I know Avira probably has better detection, but their update mechanism has never worked right for me on either of 2 machines here. Don't know why...

[jadinolf]

avast! for me-- all 5 computers.:)

[ExtremeGamerBR]

-{ Quote: "How do you like Panda Cloud Pro? Has it caught anything?" }-

It is lightweight, strong and work with full compatibility with my Chrome and IE9 RC.

I've tried a lot but found nothing that compares to it. Except that NIS 2011 is also excellent (I use on my Desktop).

[Nevis]

Norton

then prevx and Avast :)

[Cimmerian]

My desktop-G Data InternetSecurity 2011
Wife's laptop-Avira Premium Security Suite v10
My kids desktops-Outpost Security Suite Free 7.1 (x2)

[sportsfan7700]

Norton on my new laptop ( coming in July) MSE for now on my desktop, but may switch it up to Avast!. Wondering if Avast is a better choice.

[lastsamuraial]

Eset Nod32 no doubt.

[Allen L.]

Avast 6! Excellent as far as resource usage, and I feel it's as good as any (according to whose report you read), with it's detection - both virus and malware.

NOD was my choice for years - but I firmly believe they 'lost' it when they wandered away from v2.xxx concepts of light, fast, and little, if any, false positives. Now they are big and bloated, but of course, not as 'fat' as Norton/ Symantec! :P

When was the last time you tried Norton?

[Trooper]

Yeah I have not used Norton in a long time, but I hear its much more lightweight. Anyone here using Bluepoint Security?

[sweidre]

1. ESET Smart Security (AV+Firewall+Spamfilter) v. 4.2.64.12 (NOD32)
2. Immunet Protect (Cloud Based AV) v. 3.0.0.18

Note, that the light-weight Immunet Protect does not conflict with other AV products. It is suitable as a supplement to other AV (second opinion).

[SweX]

Hmm.. I wonder where sweidre have been hiding since 2005:P
Better late than never they say. Congrats to your first post!

And Yes, ESET Smart Security is great :thumb:

[gautam7]

Well avast kept me virus free for two year now so no point changing it.... my vote avast;D

[marc57]

MSE since it was in beta.

Thanks for the poll.
