Please do not listen to those fools who thinks Norton is any good.
I 'll give you a list of when I think is best from my years of computer. Before that I'll let you have an idea on what is good Anti Virus
What to look for in Anti-Virus Software
Top anti-virus software should be easy enough for a computer novice to both use and install. The software should effectively seek out and identify virus threats, as well as clean or isolate infected files. There should be understandable reporting available for each scan and plenty of help support available, so you can be well informed of the software’s activities and capabilities. Below are the criteria TopTenREVIEWS used to evaluate anti-virus software.
Ease of Use –Exceptional anti-virus software is simple to use, regardless of a person’s computer experience or knowledge of viruses.
Effective at Identifying Viruses and Worms – The best anti-virus products identify infected files quickly through real-time scanning, searching for viruses in a multitude of sources, including email, instant message applications, web browsing and so on.
Effective at Cleaning or Isolating Infected Files –Truly capable anti-virus software thoroughly cleans, deletes or quarantines infected files—keeping them from spreading throughout the hard drive or network.
Activity Reporting – Anti-virus programs should give immediate notification of viruses found by real-time scanners and should provide an easy-to-read report of scan results, including what it found and what it did with infected files.
Feature Set – A well-rounded feature set allows anti-virus software to provide absolute protection. The best programs are those that offer a wide variety of tools, from basic real-time scanning to more advanced, heuristic scanning and script blocking—when it comes to virus protection, the more options the better.
Ease of Installation and Setup – Anti-virus programs should be a breeze to install, making it easy to go from installation to initial scan in just a couple clicks of the mouse.
Help Documentation – High-end anti-virus software come with plenty of help, including support via email, online chat or over the telephone. There should also be online resources, such as knowledge bases and FAQs available for quick and convenient help.
So, no matter how serious a computer virus is or how quickly it is passed around, with today’s anti-virus software, you’ll always have a cure.
Top 3 Best
F-Secure ( http://www.f-secure.com/ )
Panda ( http://www.pandasoftware.com/ )
Kapersky ( http://www.kapersky.com/ )
First I would talk about F-Secure.
F-Secure is the most secured but fuzzy software I ever used.
If you are very patient or need a super strong Anti Virus, pick F-Secure.
Panda's products are not bad too, you can run an online scan to see that. I would recommend Panda as it doesnt ask everything when you download something and everything else. It is also almost equally strong. A very good choice.
Kapersky, is a little like Panda, just a little fuzzy but not that much. Needs some patience.
Overall I would choose F-Secure/Panda.
It's up to you.
PS: Norton is always included when you brought a computer. It's not that useful... When I started to touch the computer, I had tons of viruses, and although Norton can detect SOME on them, it cant EVEN delete them.
Just from my experience and the net.

seriously?
for windows you want Nod32 by Eeset.
Although all virus scanners claim to be the 'best' Nod32 is structured better than most other commercial and free virus scanners. Aside from the fact that it scans files before windows explorer even opens them in folder view, it also scans for malicious coding including viruses that have not yet been named or discovered. You can choose to upload new virii to the Nod32 database for analysis, which means the research into new virii is literally global and not just done by the company's limited reach.

McAfee has worked really well for me. It warns me every time I'm about to do something stupid and If i turn it off and I do get a Virus it will tell me and I'll scan my computer and It will get rid of it right away.

Symantec which is also Norton.
I used to have McAfee but when they told me to download the new one .... all I got was rubbish ... it went slow and wiped a lot of my stuff off.
I tried to complain to McAfee by sending emails ... but nobody answered. I can't even get hold of them to stop taking money out of my credit card.
I have two computers (networked) at home ... and one is still on McAfee ....how do I get hold of them?
