ESET NOD32 Antivirus is a good choice,or you could give Avast Professional Edition a thought.

I use Bitdefender on my laptop and it makes it very slow.
Never had any problems, just performance.
I use Norton on my Mac and that’s brilliant, Norton has one of the fastest processing times…I’ve seen the research, just can’t find the link.
Norton has a range of products to suit what you use your computer for. If you do a lot of gaming, then they have a package designed with that in mind.
I recommend Norton 360 for your PC because it covers all areas of your system. Just getting an antivirus product will leave you exposed to other threats.http://www.buyantivirusfirewallsoftware.…
It might cost a few $ more than $60, however getting a 2 or 3 year subscription will bring the price down dramatically.

Go to pcworld.com & cnet.com & look up security software. They have the editors (experts, hopefully) & readers (amateurs for the most part) reviews & ratings. Go to the library & look this up in “Consumer Reports” they rate security software every year. The last time they recommended a free security suite consisting of Avira anti-virus program, Windows Defender anti-spyware & some anti-spam program which I don’t think is necessary if your email provider has a spam filter. Also use Zone Alarm’s free firewall. Get the free stuff ASAP, if you don’t like it or still want to get something better upgrade to Avira’s premium anti-virus program & keep Windows Defender, it’s not the greatest anti-spyware program but is handy to have.
Read up on this & don’t take my word or anyone else’s without doing some research on your own

look at this
http://anti-virus-software-review.toptenreviews.com/
you will find any thing you want
but my recommendation is kaspersky (i am using it now)
dont buy it from their website you can find it in amazon for around 26$
((take the full edition which is call INTERNET security
if you ask me about bitdefender >>>it is really heavy and will make pc slow

I have nornton antivirus which I think is great!
If anything is trying to get into your computer it dectects and stops it straight away, I have never had a problem!
You may be able to get a months free trial but it’s about £40 for a years protection I think, and when I got mine I could put it onto three computers.

Avast is the best one out there, it doesn’t mess with anything and does what you want, and it actually gets rid of the viruses.

Both Nod32 and Bitdefender are good. I tyed both of them, but now prefer Bitdefender. I bought it several days ago with Christmas discount here:

kaspersky is a bastard antivirus.
Download AVG/AVAST with Malwarebytes.

If you are willing to pay I would recommend GData.

Try Panda Cloud. It has the best detection rate + it is free!

Tonda  on January 29th, 2010

AVG is the best free one.
Avast is a good one but only free for 18 months
