Default 2008 Antivirus Comparison
antivirus 2008 chart

I didn't knew this site, but I find its quite interesting as they compare many different aspects and we often forget about these...

May it help someone who's undecided.

It continues to confirm my #1 choice for antivirus even if for now, I am still using Avast.

That guy seriously needs a spelling and grammar checker ...

Anywho, I seriously question the testing methods given the VAST difference in detected malware.

I don't know how much I'd trust that guy...

I much prefer to go by this site: AV-Comparatives
Click Comparatives > Look for #17 and click Online results.

Doesn't show CPU/Memory resources though, but it gives you the most important information about how well it detects viruses and what not.

Default AVG 8
I've installed AVG 8 on a few Vista machines and can no longer print from IE.
That is, I cannot print a web page. I can always save to an XPS file, but other users aren't pleased.
Any suggestions?
