Hi All Antivirus claim their product, You get lots of Free / Paid antiviuses in the world which will only clean, delete only the known viruses and Some antiviruses dont even delete or can perform if the threat is more than 90% !! This all for the known viruses and the strength of virus.
what are you going to do for the unknown viruses ?
The Antivirus technologies like Signature Based is 18 years old technology and Heuristic Based technologies is like 8 years old Technology !!!
What is virus ?
Its just a piece of a code which can penetrate worms and harm to your computer.
How is Virus Defined and Identified ?
Only after affecting 10,000 + computers, we know that the piece of code is a virus Right ???
the sample code is taken to a lab by a signature based antivirus companies to fix a patch and want to update it with the signature database. Only then any signature based antiviruses identify a virus.. :)

I have been using Avast Home Edition on my PCs and it is the BEST free (even in the paid cateogry also) antivirus software. It is light weight and fast. Simply 5 Star.
And yeah... it is better than Nortan Crap.
