Do NOT follow any links for XP or Vista Antivirus as they are just ways of getting your CC details.

Another vote for AVG here. They do have rare problems with updates but generally runs much better than Norton and Mcaffee.

Another vote for Avast...don't even know its running, aside from the odd warning of dodgy emails and the updates.

I do keep checking with other ones just incase its missed something - but nowt so far!

Have used Norton, McAfee & NOD - all good but tend to slow pc down
AVG free is also good.
Have been using Avast for a while now - low overhead (no impact on pc speed) - brilliant.  Also tried it on my test machine on some "captive" viruses - got em all!  

Go to http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html for a copy.

Forget Norton, McFees OK but not spot on, Tried Avast recently ok, but couldn,t find real nasties.

AVG ver 8 free seems good, but found a free newbie that's really good, SuperAntiVirus, found stuff all the other cleaners could not find.
