how about comparison between free versions of AV??



OT// and y norton is last??? coz of patchguard?

i am using AVG .. don't know the version as i am now in the office .. seems pretty good for me .. and the best part is the AVG software is free with constant updates ..

i using AVG email server edition 7.5.
longtime ago used norton, it cause my comp slow.

AVG on no 13...damn
never thought Kaspersky was that good....

I am using AVG free edition for normal web browsing + download site. Haven't encounter 'serious' problem so far. My friend told me THUMBSUP for Kaspersky but the only problem for him is insufficient memory sometimes.

yess...NOD32 is in the list

used kaspersky before, but later version became bloated so changed to avg
now considering changing to antivir

btw, another site which does antivirus testing

where is TrendMicro?

and AVG Free Edition~~

thank god got a nice backup here~

AVG is an inadequate AV software. (Don't flame me, just telling from my experiences with a lot AV software)
F-Secure uses Kaspersky & BitDefender real-time scanning engine (yes 2 engines) so it's very secure, but resource hugging.
Kaspersky is one of the best, but also the one with biggest memory footprint (uses most RAM as compared to others)
Norton 360 has vastly improved as compared to previous Norton AV series. Footprint is much smaller, updates are more frequent and very reliable too, when compared to when it was Norton 2005/2006.
NOD32 from Eset is also the best, especially if you have little RAM to spare, best for gamers and graphic designers/video editors.

There has been flaming war between NOD32 and Kaspersky fanboys, but my humble advice is, use Kaspersky if you have a generous amount of RAM (say 2GB with good proc), else still with NOD32 (512~1GB RAM).

Just my 2 cents.
