avast 4.8 is good enough

i also support nod32, a nice antivirus

im using avg free edition..lolx..so far so good...

bitdefender total security is my choice

Was using AVG free all this while until it detected my Zone Alarm as a trojan virus last month. What happend afterwards was a living hell getting Zone Alarm uninstalled while AVG was blasting false positive alarms at my face. A boot to safe mode did the trick and I even had to download a Zone Alarm remover from Kaspersky site.

Then tested Kaspersky Internet Suite 2009 for 3 weeks and just bought KIS 2009 3 license for RM109. It's a bargain me thinks. I know last time can get even cheaper but the promotion has ended already.

BTW the problem was also faced by 3 of my friends and after a few google searches we found out that AVG did it intentionally to force free users to upgrade to their crappy AVG internet security product. So this in my book is not acceptable. So you fellas using AVG Free beware that they can do the same thing to you in the future.

Well, AVG Free Edition 8.0 detected FlashUtil10a.exe as a Trojan. Its a false positive.

First time ever such a thing happened to AVG, been using it for years.

Anyways, Flash Player 10 is still new - - a future update (on either side) should resolve the issue.

Symantec av 2009 in vista.no laggyness.good low memory.
most recommended

Tried Norton Anti Virus 2007, Kaspersky Internet Security 2008, Eset Smart Security 3, Spyware Doctor5, and SUPERAntiSpyware Pro.

Norton let go many real virus and keep annoying me every few minute saying it blocked worm intrusion.(Did worm really attk every few minute? Well I did not experienced tat with other security app.

Kaspersky 2008 provide great protection but it consumed too many memory, slow down my computer and my dwnld speed reduced by 30-50 kb which is a big problem for me since I always dl movie from internet.I tried installing it with Eset and I keep getting BSoD.Heard many ppl telling Kaspersky cant work together with many security app.

Eset Smart Security 3 was great because it provide a good protection and it consume little memory but I dont think it provide a great firewall and online protection and it let away some tracking spyware or adware.

Spyware Doctor 5 was great for online security or tracking spyware but it consumed many memory, hard to uninstall and will cause permanent damage on ur system if U didnt uninstall or stop the service nicely.I have a 1 year license for Spyware doctor 6 but now I dont even bother to use it anymore.
Edit 1: Recently the new database give out many false alarm when i give out so much memory which is why i abandone this crap but I only use it to cover up the tracking spyware lefted out by Eset in the 1st place.

SUPERAntiSpyware was never a popular app but I personally find it can remove tracking spyware effectively but the scanning is quite heavy and the auto protect is just crap.Only use this app to scan and nothing else.

After all this year testing the app I choose to use those app with low memory usage but can really remove REAL virus and spyware , ESET Smart Security 3 and SUPERAntiSpyware Pro but after I upgrade my com I will use Kaspersky instead of Eset .All this is just my personal opinion from using those security app i mentioned above and my combination will definitely let many virus and spyware to passby but can definitely removed by a full scan.(This is my experience in getting myself at least a virus/day and also because my friend like to spread virus to me =.=!!! just 2 day ago i borrowed a pendrive from them and there was 5x virus in it but basically the same virus.)

kaspersky

i hav move from AVG > norton IS > kapersky > norton IS> macafee TS> nod32 > bitdefender IS.

so far, bout 3 months using bitdefender internet security, it manage 2 repel all viruses.
Bitdefender manage 2 catch every virus, only once i hav 2 re4mat my pc after i accidentally set free the virus dat i "breed".........x_x

finally settle down after using bitdefender internet security so many trial........
i vouch for bitdefender now, but it does hav its weakness.
1) its not dat stable, the antivirus can crash or stop responding sometime.
2) ur pc spec hav 2 b a lot higher den recommended, if not, the lag will show.

is there anyone here use norton 360 on vista 64-bit
my KAV is expiring
currently i'm using KAV 2009
quite smooth, startup normal for me

i use antivir , because it will not automatically delete or block my crack, pacth or keygen file.... it ask before delete.....

unlike last time i use kaspersky and avg, it make my crack file corrupt..

my college use antivir.......................all pc r infected wit virus.............
no matter wat i try, cannot remove the virus, keep regenerate itself.

but wen i bring home my pendrive, the virus easily remove by bitdefender or nod32..............

NOD32,BitDefender KIS 2009 ! The best i would say
Combo one of these with SuperAntiSpyware !I believe best protection

Now using ESET Smart Security Business Edition, change from KIS2009

Definitely agreed with U , Mayb I should try out BitDefender.

BitDefender 2009 FTW!! hehe..

Avast antivirus or AVG 8. Both are free and I have no problem so far with Vista.

NOD32 worked like charm for me in Vista.

i use antivir personal + kaspersky AV 2009...both worked well...
