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.

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.

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

Same. I use avg all the time. Since their latest main update, it looks a lot better / easier to use too

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.

I've been happy with Symantec Enterprise Edition. I like the daily auto updating.

NOD 32.. it's updated daily and is barely noticeable as far as system preformance goes.
