    Fresh install of Windows XP - Best Anti Virus?

    I'm about to format this machine & reinstall windows xp... what is the best anti virus software to install on it?

    Norton seems to have dropped the ball tons of times, lookin for something new.

    Kaspersky - it's THE best AV I have ever used bar none.
    Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.

                        I used to have this russian girl editing for me.. She was smart as a whip and always poking around my networked pc and would get through norton. I heard her mention kaspersky and i bought it, she couldnt get through after that, and the fact that I canned her too, but yea, it works awesome.

                          Nod sucks.. seriously. Dont let micro center trick you into thinking its good. I can get through nod and I know jack shit. Nod is good if you are a gamer and you want an antivirus scanning at all times because it uses less recourses, but thats about it. Kaspersky is designed inherently better.

                          (im not ripping your opinion) i want you to know that.
                          Cheers,

                                AVG (free/paid) got my vote.
                                2nd choice would be Avira Antivir.

                                  i use AVG - free version - and meanwhile i've had two bouts with spyware lately - it never alerted me to anything.
                                  I moved my sites to Vacares Hosting. I've saved money, my hair is thicker, lost some weight too! Thanks Sly!

                                        Kaspersky is the best solution
                                        Do you need cheap, fast and reliable porn website hosting?

                                          Eset NOD32 is rather good for me,
                                          i have bad experience with Kaspersky (different versions) - slowing down computers.

                                          I'm using Antiviruses in my office only (10 -15 computers)

                                                I use kaspersky(KIS 2009 to be more exact) and I love it. Been using it for 3-4 years now. Pretty cheap too.
                                                Questions?
