Best Antivirus software

[Paul C. Anagnostopoulos]

Okay, I admit it, I'm running Norton Antivirus 2002. It's time to junk it in favor of something better. From what I can see, there isn't anything worse, so this should be easy.

What should I get? Cost no object (more or less). I'm running Windows XP Pro.

I use AVG's free version. The price is right, and it appears to do the job well. It's also nicely unobtrusive.

I did use MacAfee for a while but had some weird compatibility problems and got fed up of all its "Security Centre" malarkey when all I wanted was a virus checker.

I swapped to CA's ezAntivirus about 6 months ago and had no issues with it, no extraneous "security centre" or other fluff.

It's a Gordian Knot solution. I'm a creative Mac user, so I can think outside the box.
