KAV or NOD32. Right now NOD32 as realtime & KAV (3.5 older version) as on demand.
I use Kaspersky. NOD was just taking too much away from my resources for me to live with and with every bootup, the machine took forever to get ready. With KAV there are no such problems. I am up and running in one quarter of the time. And on my other machine, I don't use a AV at all. I mean, come on, when was the last time linux users had to worry about a virus. :-)
NOD32 all the way
NOD32 all the way.
I've used Norton, Macaffee, Avast, BitDefender and several others, but so far NOD32 blew them all away.
Of course, I also use a less-known antivirus as back-up, which I'm not naming here, so my success-rate on nailing virusses and other no-no's is near 100%.
NOD32 is set to scan things first, and after it is done, the other one kicks in and scans a second time.
The second one is slower, and NOD32 still caught probably some 99.9% of nasty things trying to infect me, but there have been a few cases (two so far, over the last year... maybe three or four since I went for NOD32 some two-and-a-half years ago) where NOD didn't pick up a nasty, and the other one did.
I am using NOD32 2.50.25
