According to PC World, this is the scanner chart... HTTP://www.pcworld.com/reviews/article/0,aid,124475,00.asp ... Now, setting that aside, which would you prefer on your computer? Which do you trust? Don't think about the ratings when you do this.

FlamePC World historically is a *censored* for advertising dollars. Also, any study that rates Mcafee second (or even in the top 5) is suspect by definition.

Could we have a third selection of "Anything Else"?Oops, forgot about that option    Yes, the option has been created, however please specify which scanner you prefer then. I'm getting tired of Norton taking up all my resources lol  Wasn't a problem until I started gaming some more... Never should have done it...

FlameAVG free 'till I fall. If I WANT a really good scanner, I'd get a trial version of NOD32.AVG- with Kaspersky (at the back)

Looks like Kaspersky is the best one... All the REST totally switched places really... Bit Defender getting Gold? Hard to believe, but maybe...

FlamePut me in the AVG column for a windows installation, ALTHOUGH I do use PC-Cillin on one box (because I got it for free).I voted Another, but I'm really not sure at this point what I'll do when my subscription to Norton AV expires in Sept.  I'm still using NAV 2002, with multiple annual renewals due to the length of time I've used it.

However, I think I may be looking at one I don't often see mentioned in forums, or so it seems.  I'm talking about EZ Trust Antivirus from Computer Associates.  AVG Free because it's free & offers unlimited realtime protection.
Prevx1 looks like a good thing too.
