Alright im having trouble choosing just one AV. and NOD32 and Kaspersky are pretty much the best ones. and i currently have both. but i dont know which one to choose so anyone have any suggestions? and please dont bother naming any other AV cuz there most likely not as good.

Do you know if its possible to have kaspersky as your main active AV and just use NOD32 for a 2nd scan or will that mess things up?

AVG is Ok, Symantic is great, but it will kill BF2 so you have to disable it, if you want symantic let me know i'll send it to you, Courtesy of the US gov

Nod32 is the highest rated, if you can wait an hour or so I'll find you the testing info. Search back a couple days too, i think there was just recently a "Best AV Pole"

Kaspersky.. it's very light and very secure. I have had both as well as Norton, Sophos, and AVG. Kaspersky will not interfere or impair your machine.

AVG is just complete poo, the only good thing is the freeness...that isn't so good if it doesn't detect shit.

http://housecall65.trendmicro.com/ I use that online scan every now and then, which is free and spanks the bottom of AVG infront of all its mates.
http://home3.ca.com/Microsoft/ <-----free for 1 year, and it actually detects/gets rid of stuff

NOD32 doesn't scan as much stuff as KAV (not including email + office scanner) but NOD32 uses less resources.

The main thing I dislike about NOD32 is the uninformative interface... it's useless.

I feel safer with KAV, however takes longer to do a deep scan and the iStreams thing hogs even more disk space and resources - especially with KAV 6.0

Nod32	50%	50% - 5
Kaspersky	50%	50% - 5
Total: 10
