AVG or NOD32 are the best.

Norton 2004 isn't that great it slow's your system if you the option scan compressed files or something to that nature clicked which it will then scan your dat files as you are downloading them. nod 32 is problably your best bet.

Yeppers and another and 'only good one' from symantecs is their Corporate versions. (8.0.xxx or 8.1.xxx).

BTW, has anyone heard about M$ trying to buy AVG???

WHAT!?!? :angry:
THAT CAN'T BE. I'm gonna have to look into this. AVG Anti-virus is my choice by far and if M$ acquires it, I'm really gonna be pissed. damn money grubbers.

Avast Anti Virus is good. I bet none of the others comes with a P2P Shield. Freeware too.

Any good Antivirus prog will get viruses from pretty much any source.
(esp P2P source)
