    Have to agree AVG is the best for me,
    Its doesnt take over your system like someothers, Relatively compact, and its FREE

    Use norton, kaspersky or F-prot.
    R-points pyramid scheme is NOT allowed on HEXUS. Please do not add it back again - thank you.

    I have to say that on the machines here at work, McAfee is rather more sluggish than the odd machine we've got w/Norton on it.

    Sophos is good for business use as its very network-manager-friendly - for home users I'd recommend Nortons or one of the freebie ones. We used to use McAfee at work and it was utter pap.

    okay my 2P

    Mcafee - good detection lillte slow on the update kill system performance

    Sophos - Easy to roll out(network wise), update anywhere upto 3 time a day- not to bad on system performance - not recommended for the home user

    noton great for the home user cheap(but still cost money) and regular update (as long as you connecto to the internet for a resonalbe amount of time

    AVG (I use it at home) - Cheap (well it is free) does not update anywhere near of ofted as the others here, schedule for update is quite poor

    well my view
