Which Anti virus is best? I had Avast, Norton, Kaspersky, NOD32...
Now I have Zone Alarm.
So Which one is "the" best?

Kaspersky I would have to say has the best detection rates...
But there are two things you want to be concerned about when listing the best.. Main things are free and paid...
Avast and AVG are like almost, the best in free...
Kaspersky and NOD32 are very good for paid.. Expensive tho...
Norton and MacAffee slows down your computer like a **** on the summer road... Or like a snail with salt.. But Macaffe is better then Norton..
Norton 2007 is something you don't want to mess with, once you install it its in your computer forever unless you format it... Crazy ****, not even its own uninstaller can remove it..
Take a look..

But also be concerned by its price, speed, user interface, customability.. Etc... But virus detection is very important, so is heuristics ... Along with removing them... and prevention..
Good luck to you..

hello ! already you have the best anti virus with installing ZoneAlarm ! im a white hacker and i recommend you to use zonealarm just try to keep it update !
new versions of zone alarm has Anty Spy and antivirus too ! mainly zonealarm is a firewall but i can prove zonealarm is the best ! cos i have some viruses that norton and none of that antiviruses are detecting them ! use zonealarm ! i use it too , just warn you to pay attention what message zonealam gives you , and which program to allow or deny .

I prefer avg free. I have used it for quite some time now and have never had a problem. It is low on cpu...which is more than I can say for norten's or McAfee.

Norton tends to be a system (and HD hog).
Try McAfee.
