Sophos is a very good antivirus. I use Kaspersky Lite for $19.95. The program doesn't have all the bells and whistles such as ability to select folders to scan, and it doesn't update automatically. Kaspersky does provide daily updates, or you can update the whole package on a weekly basis.

One of the top AV's seems to be NOD32, if you can afford the $54.95 price. The downside, from what I've heard, is that it's a pretty technical setup. I don't have the URL available.
For free, AVG and Antivir both seem to be good. For some reason Antivir won't do a full scan on my machine. It freezes about halfway. Another freeware is AVAST32 which I've heard good things about. I tried it and it seemed to work fine. I got Antivir and AVAST from http://www.webattack.com, their freeware section.
For me, I just have more faith in Kaspersky, especially the fact that they provide updates every day as new viruses are found.

I've had Norton AV and liked it but use Grisofts AVG now........Whichever one you choose,first check in add/remove programs.If there is an AV there,probably McAfee,you should un-install it before loading the new one.....

I haven't tested or tried many kinds of antivirus programs, so I can only speak for what I have tried.
I use Norton's and I love it. It is easy to use, easy to configure and easy to maintain updates. As of yet it has kept me protected and has a good website to look up info on virii.
This is of course, IMO.

Zaggy, a question. I haven't used Norton since 1997, on an old (new then) 486. It was a real resource hog in those days and slowed the machine down to a crawl. Has it improved?
My Kaspersky is such that I don't even know it's there. According to several other security sites I visit, Kaspersky is one of the best. I think it's a case of apples and oranges anyway. If your AV does it's job and you're happy with it, that's what counts.
