    yes those are good but, let's also keep it on stability in wich they suck, norton will eat your ram, panda will play with scripts on your pc and make it malfunction, mcafee is a pain on the rear end when surfing the web [you have to setr it up or it wont open up some sites or email]

    unless you've tried them and know what you talking about the best are
    AVG, kapersky and NOD32

    Interesting... The software I use, and that which has long been recommended by most people I know, NOD32 is not on the list.

    I haven't used NOD32 before, and I haven't had the opportunity to use F-Secure in years, but that's the reason for the list. We want to hear back from everyone what their favorites are, which ones they hate. We'll take a good look at the ones people recommend and be sure to include them when we issue an updated list.

    I have deemed AVG the killer of laptop harddrives, and have since moved to Avast and my on-24hours-a-week-7-day-a-week laptop has not had a harddrive failure in 4 years, which was the last time i replaced it.

    Avast is a wondeful program and should def be on there :)

    Avira AntiVir should be on this list. If you havent try it give it a go. It is really great.

    Hmm, I am also on the list of people who love NOD32 but was surprised to not see it listed here.

    NOD32 > NAV. No doubt about it.

    what a terrible review.

    as has been stated, why is nod32 and avast and fsecure not on there?

    yet the bloatware that is mcaffe/norton is, yet another review not based on the technical ability of products.

    Avast! Anti-virus, even though there's a free home edition is far superior than any other anti-virus out there...

    I've tested all these others and none of them live up to Avast!

    What's great about avast? It uses a fraction of the resources, and offers boot-time scanning. NONE of the above offer boot-time scanning.

    @nauralzen Ubuntu still uses a security application, it's called AppArmor.

    NOD32 truly is the best anti-virus program out there and I don't know how some of the others made your list.

    Avira Antivir should be on the list. It's the best Antivirus that iv'e used (Iv'e used all the AntiVirus listed above) Avira doesn't slow your computer down at all like some of the others mentioned above. The scan system is very thorough and the scan is extremly fast aswell as updates 2 /3 times a day.

    excellent list. even though my favorite is McAfee, the others are very competitive. Among the free ones I consider AVG is the best, however, it will really depend on the user needs. Myself: I stop using it last week because is kind of ineffective against worms and trojan horses; NOD32 worked better for me in regards to an issue I had related with this matter.
    Thanks for letting me share this opinion!

    To my mind, avast has a most user-friendly interface out of all free antivirus programs, and its updates are absolutely silent. Some PC users insist that it has a poor detection rate, but AV comparatives lists avast! over Norton, so there must be a sound reason behind that. Since version 4.8 avast! claims to have anti-spyware protection included as well. I personally know a home user who switched from ESET (paid) to avast! (free), and not because NOD's subscription expired.

    Hi Charlemont, thanks for the comment! I would agree with you that Avast is a great product, especially considering it's free. I've been using it for awhile now, and have had zero problems.

    I also checked out your PC Security site, and you've got a great run-down on PC security and the various components that make up a good approach to PC security. Keep up the great work!

    WARNIG! Symantec’s "Norton Oline Antivirus "2008" (OEM)does "NOT" play with others well... Others like Windows Xp- with "sp3"...

    Hey, just my opinion-check it out your self, just google it =)
