Kaspersky 6 will be out soon which is currently the best AV on the market.
One copy of Kav6 will have a License for 2 systems which will come in handy.

I have been using NOD32 for a couple of years.
Decided to also try Kaspersky today, as I got a special deal on it.
NOD32 is certainly quicker and uses much less resources than K. NOD32 would take around 20 minutes for my machine, but K has already taken 2.5 hours with another 1.5.hours to go.
However, it has scanned over 1.1 million "objects" and detected 2 viruses - which NOD32 may have missed (on a drive which I don't always scan on a daily basis).

It's odd people never mention AntiVir when talking about free av software, as it constantly has better detection rates than either Avast or AVG 
As stated a AV is only as good as it's virus definitions!!
What you want too look for in a good AV is one that has the largest and most comprehensive virus definitions and a decent virus like action detector, it should also do all this using the least amount of system resources.
For me it was a close fight between NOD32 and Nortons Corp. but after using both on over a dozen box's I found that Nortons gave the best protection and considering both used pretty much the same amount of system resources and similar memory footprints I opted for Nortons Corp.
Have been using Nortons Corp for a good few years now and have NEVER been infected which is pretty amazing considering the amount of dodgy infected sites I visit

Anyone know when it is actually going to be released? does the beta version use much system resources then? just curious.
