AVG

AntiVir

Best paid for Antivirus?
No antivirus is perfect but I'd say probably
Kaspersky

You can always use the free online scan from the second best, Trend Micro as a second opinion.

Oh... and though it's not quite as good for viral problems, you can also check out the free online scan from Microsoft.

They fix your registry, delete temporary files and defrag your hard drive too.

I've been building comptuer since 1995 and got my first degree in computers in 1987. I started on Commodore 64's. I found in 1999 this german anti virus called avira and have been using it ever since. PC world magazine rated it the number 2 antivirus 2nd to NOD32 from australia. I have used Norton, macaffe and AVG and avast. They dont do the job the Avira does. Now that this german guy has made it big you can still get avira for free, but he will start charging for it soon. Give it a try. It is the only one I use when I clean out peoples computers. If you dont like it then go with something else. :)

Over 12 years, I have found Norton AV to be the best when configured correctly, and it has saved my networks more times than I care to remember.

If you want a free antivirus then go for AVG.
If you want to pay for one, then go for Norton.
but Norton slows your computer down.
