Im sure you guys get this question a lot, but I was wondering what you guys though. Right now I have NOD32, but I was wondering if anything was better.
Intel E6300 Core 2 Duo
G.Skill 1GB DDR26400
Sapphire Radeon X1900XT
Seagate 320GB HDD
Windows XP Professional

I'm with the Avast...no muss, no fuss, just great realtime protection and updates that most of the other AV's don't do. No need to schedule boring scans, etc., it is all done in real time while you surf. And did I say FREE?
IMHO and from experience, Norton, Symantec and McAfee are resource hogs that bog down your PC and were packaged in most PC bundles so the consumer thought they had to PAY for an AV after so many months and that they were the best protection for their PC.
Hope that helps
Hopefully my advice will help you...Please post back with your results....thanks

Yea see im looking for something like that. I do a lot of gaming/editing/recording and I like having a slip-streamed AV.

If you decide on Avast, let it do a bootscan on reboot so you can see if anything is lurking in your start-up. Whatever it comes up with just move it to the chest. Also, if you had Norton on your PC before Nod, make sure to use the Norton uninstaller from their website to remove all the Norton imbedded files. This will make everything run alot smoother.
Also, Comodo is a real good free Pro Firewall you might also be interested in.
Good LuckHopefully my advice will help you...Please post back with your results....thanks

Yes it does get asked a lot. Here's what I got by copying your subject line into Go Search at the top of the page:

I guess that's what it's there for.

Oh wow, I've been on this site for some time and never noticed that :)
Also, I wanted up-to-date opinions because there is new AV's popping up everyday.

"Stay with Nod32 you will never regret it."
Sorta what I was thinking too - any user that's currently got NOD32 should have hardly any reason to be shopping for another AV tool except they have a reason (very doubtful) to be dissatisfied with it.
JSYK, NOD32 is ranked up there with AV programs like KAV, AVK, eScan, F-Secure, AVIRA & TrustPort ;-)
