I'm with JMac- I haven't tried them all, but I've tried the common ones and I'm happiest with Kasp and it's almost free when you can get three licenses for 30 bucks

I am partial to Kaspersky, cuz I used it while there was a free license for one year and I loved it... Not only did it got rid of a virus AVG couldn't get rid of, but it was just flawless. Since then, I tried Avira which works out fine, I am trying Avast right now and its also fine, but I feel like I don't have enough control.

Of course, with all that I use Zone Alarm as well as Spybot... and sometimes I run some CCleaner and other good freeware.

AVG 8.0 with IE spyware / bogus sites RT detection. I hope that the users running any kind of firewall are aware that Vista already has 2 inbedded firewalls...

AVG is amazing. It scans emails like hotmail too.
