    I am tempted to try it on my second desktop. If I'm not mistaken Emsisoft uses this engine too, correct?

    I too suffer from CACD - Compulsive Antivirus Changing Disorder. I've got Avast! 6 nice and snug on this machine and I'm not changing it :D

    Correct Emsisoft uses Ikarus as one of their engines.

    EAM is a more complete option imo :D (Not being a fanboy since EAM uses Ikarus engine + their own)

    @ trjam:
    No point in starting threads as you change AVs every now and then infact there would be a dozens of threads regarding this matter.

    Back on topic:
    I installed ikarus last night on Win XP sp3 everything went smooth from installation and virus update but still I can feel a lag in system performance. To be sure I have installed in completely clean and unused system, no additional softwares were installed except some important ones:)

    He may have breathed a little too much motorcycle exhaust! Suffering from "vapor lock"!

    Ikarus is very good. Heck they are all good. But Avira is my sweetie.

    Yep, me and that big Nomad heading up to Boone in the morning.
