    anti virus software

    im looking in to new anti virus software.


    I currently have f-secure internet security 2006.

    I have heard good things about nod32,kaspersky, AVG,bitdefender.


    I like the fact bitdefender has the ability to repair itself if it corropts.


    from a lot of people on hexus i have read nod32 is amazing app that uses low resourse but has great detection.

    kaspersky seems to detect all mailware and updates once and hour.

    AVG uses lose resourses and has good detection.

    can you name your AV and say why you brought it.

    thanks in advance

    AntiVir, it's free & uses the least resources out of all AVs

    I use AVG Free Edition. There's also an online scanner that I run now and again (just to make sure) at Kapersky Labs - www.kaspersky.co.uk/virusscanner.
