Why do u need an Antivirus anyway. Just use some common sence, don't install crap-ware & look before u click on anything. Combine that with a good anti-spyware software which is free, & u r set to go

i used AVG earlier, but now i am using AOL Active Virus Shield (absolutely freeware) it uses the kaspersky's virus database (the best antivirus today) and also has antispyware protection in it, which AVG and Avast does'nt have., have a look at it's homepage *www.activevirusshield.com/ you wont be dissatisfied with it. :)

Post Script
It's used when u forgot to say something in a message and so have to include it at the end.
I think it was used in the days of the typewriter, when we could'nt edit the letter once it was typed... so PS was the way to include something u forgot to write in the letter.

Both Avast and Avg are bad,Avast takes too much memory & Avg has limited protection
Best free Av's
Active virus shield(with kav 6 engine)
Avira(free version)

paid
Avira premium (best)
kav6
nod32

yeah avira antivir is the best (free antivirus)
And nod32 is the best (paid antivirus)

PS: they are sole antivirus and dont include whole intrnrt security suite.

Avast & AVG r kool.
Dunno y.. but when I installed Active Virus Shield & Antivir.. they seem to behave problematic with me in the beginning. So.. I came back to my old favs.. Avast & AVG again. I hate irritating programs. Silk smooth.
Just a personal opinion.

Mayb the others r better. But the best always changes. One day.. it's Kapersky... one day it's Norton... one day Antivir.... so... no big deal... For the normal to super-normal guys... a free av solution is best. Only the corporates should go for the paid hugies :D

But they are all old threads,we need to talk about new updated content isn't??

Avast is good av but it is bulky Above 40mb in mem

For top performance and protection use AVS,Kav6 or nod32

For going for a best Antivirus u have to choose ur comp usage habbits.Then opt for the right one.

For home use i think any Antivirus be it MacFee or Norton works but if ur going for net surfng then be alert!!!!!!!!

Iuse MacFee with up-to-date updation.it is good having many other options inspite of Antivirus .

The updation of Antivirus through net is a must task for the Antivirus.Be aware of it.
