Opinion on AntiVirus software

Hi. My subscription to Norton just ended, so now before I resubscribe to them, I'm wondering what the best Antivirus software is. I'm willing to spend money on the software; I was gonna pay to resubscribe Norton, but before I do, is there anything better I can use?

Thanks,
DSF

Why would you pay for the software? I use NAV05 and it works fine.

I like NOD32 the best.
Uses VERY LITTLE resources, no slow downs form it at all. :D
And it has some of the top virus definitions as well (up there with norton).

Norton SystemWorks is one of the few software's I actually buy :rolleyes:

Been using it since 2002 and it hasn't failed me yet :01:

:D Exactly what im using.

We're actually still using Norton 2003; we're not rebuying the software, just updating the subscriptions to the virus definitions.

Bitdefender!

Has anybody here tried out a bunch of different AV softwares and chosen a specific one as the "best"?

Yeah, I've tried Norton's 2k1,2,3 and 4, Nod32, Kaspersky (sp?), AVG personal and avast! personal.

I settled on avast because of a few reasons.

It uses very little resources.
The updates download in seconds, even with just a dialup connection.
They update the virus definitions at least once a day, sometimes as many as three times a day, which is amazing considering it's a free AV.

And when avast catches a virus, wow, does it ever let you know! :lol:
