Free Antivirus programs: (choose and install only one)
AVG Anti-Virus Free - AVG Anti-Virus Free User Manual
Avast - How to Install, Configure, and Use
AntiVir PersonalEdition Classic
Independent comparatives of Anti-virus Software
click on the "Comparatives" link on the left
Comparison of Anti-virus Scanners
Of course these types of comparative results will vary depending on who is doing the comparison testing, what they are testing for, what versions of anti-virus software is beging tested, etc.

AVG is good, however if you're willing to pay there are more effective alternatives.
AntiVirus only: Kaspersky
Internet Security Suite: ZoneAlarm or PC-Cillin if you're using Vista.
One of the problems with comparison testing is that there are no defined list of standards, each test will provide different results.

Are you looking for an antivirus that costs or is free?

Hi waterraven2,
I had esset NOD32 (years subscription) running since i got my machine a little over a year ago,
when it started playing up a few weeks ago NOD picked up a trojan on start up,
after a full scan no more !!
a friend recomended kapersky and it has a free thirty day trial for the full internet security suite,
installed and ran it, to my horror 96 trojans !!!!!!!
and this was after scanning with a lot of the free spy/malware stuff
i will definately be taking out a years subscription with kapersky !!!!
it seems to me that the free stuff just doesn't pick up as much.
hope this helps
regards Febman.
