Anyone recommend good AV software for windows XP X64?

I usually use AVG free but it doesn't work so I'm gonna have to pay for something.

What do people think is best?

Better. Faster. Smaller.

NOD32 has the best detection in the industry, and protects against 95% more new and evolving threats than McAfee, Symantec and Trend Micro (AV-Comparatives.org). Adware - More

I don't know how AVG is nowadays, but it missed plenty of viruses in the past.

Mcafee took over after that, till i was shown nod32, which tbh blows it away....
