I used to use Kaspersky and liked it (but this was a few years back). Have you considered AVG, it is free and really good!

...silly me...
I purchased, and Installed Norton SystemWorks many years ago...
It was costing me a fortune to keep paying for it every year, and now I can't get rid of it without doing a complete Format of my hard drive....
...so my present advice would be....
Grissoft's AVG, free program...
...!
...with it's automatic, regular, free up-grades....
...!
It seem to work fine...
...!
Paul...Virus-free...(apart from an annoying cough).... [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]....!

Two years online with nothing but the default firewall and Spybot (which isn't really an antivirus program), and my machine has never gotten "sick" from anything out there...
I don't download much stuff, though... that may be why.
A tip: don't download images- grab 'em with irfanview.

I stayed with Avast for 3 months, but whenever I'm flightsimulating or playing a game, it updates and crashes the game, so I'm downlading AVG again now... it is simply the best

Forget Norton and other payware av. They want to get in control of your system.
AVG is IT.

Panda is a great anti-virus. It got rid of a few viruses that NO OTHER could.

I've used both Norton and McAffee and dislike them both. They both nag me to upgrade to their other products on a fairly regular basis. If I wanted to put spamware on my computer I wouldn't have bought software specfically intended to stop it. Little did I know that software WAS spamware...
