After extensively researching all anti-virus products I can say the best anti-virus is Kaspersky, though NOD32 is better for computer experts. Kaspersky is the best all-round anti-virus program. NOD32 runs faster and has less software conflicts but as a consequence the user interface is difficult to use.
The most popular free anti-virus programs (AVG and Avast) have poor detection rates (82.82%, 87.46% respectively). Norton is notoriously bloated and takes forever to perform full systems scans.
It has been proven ESET NOD32 and Kaspersky are better than the best sellers Norton and McAfee (see the consumersearch source for reviews of the top anti-virus products). NOD32 is the "Best anti-virus product of 2006" -Av Compartives.
Trend Micro Antivirus is a viable alternative if you're having a lot of trouble with software conflicts. Trend Micro rounds out the top three.

some of the answerers here have taken great pains to assimilate various sources to put forth their choice.
inspite of all the benchmarks that have been quoted here i feel that it is our own experience with a s/w which helps us decide.
and i would vote for AVG antivirus
they also have a free edition which is good too.
it doesn't slow down your system at all unlike mc affee and norton do.
avast is another good package

Avast and AVG are great. Both are very configurable, easy to use, catch everything, low system overhead, update daily and best of all FREE.

Kaspersky is the best. Don't get a free one. You get what you pay for. Kaspersky is consistently rated in the top 3.
