    I've tried like a half dozen AVs. My pick is Kaspersky Personal.

    I have heard many good things about Kapersky.

    I've never used anything but Norton AV, but all I really know is that Norton is such a resouce hog, and not to good about cleaning and updating...

    I use AVG Free on my 32 bit XP and avast! on the 64 bit ( cause it's the only one I could find...).
    Both have worked fine so far.

    I just tried Avast and after I'd installed it last night, this morning I had no internet. I uninstalled it and the internet's back.... coincidence?

    Maybe I'll go for a trial or something with Kaspersky and try it out, but I'm still open to suggestions.

    yes u've tried a lotttt of av programs.
    almost all of them slow down my computer, except for nod32 and avg.
    nod32 has the better definitions so that's my choice.
