    Vista Virus Scanner

    I need a virus scanner for work, but they let me chose. Anyone have suggestion for a virus scanner. I know Avast and NOD32 have been popular in the past, I'm just curious about what you recommend.

      Never used NOD32. Avast works fine.
      Ladies and gentlemen, take my advice, pull down your pants and slide on the ice.

        Avast!
        When you own your own business you only have to work half a day. You can do anything you want with the other twelve hours.

            NOD32 is very very fast. Went from Panda on one PC and Trend Micro on another. OMG what a difference.

              BTW (offtopic, since this thing apparently doesn't have Vista version yet), what are your thoughts on Kaspersky?
              Because it's now available for free, in the form of http://www.activevirusshield.com/

              (anyway...vote for NOD32, happy with it for now (though not on Vista...))

                  Kaspersky has perhaps the best detection rate of any antivirus solution.

                  It has also, in the past couple versions, suffered the same fate as virtually every OTHER antivirus - it has bulked up, it includes (relatively useless) spyware protection, it's intrusive, and it sucks up a lot of system resources.
                  The Internet - where men are men, women are men, and teenage girls are FBI agents!

                  I'm the least you could do
                  If only life were as easy as you
                  I'm the least you could do, oh yeah
                  If only life were as easy as you
                  I would still get screwed

                    Going to guve NOD32 the 30-day trial run and see how I like. The new job requires a virus scanner running while connected via VPN (it is a completely virtual office company with no real estate of their own). But I hate resource sucking scanners, and NOD32 seems to be the least obtrusive with an above average detection and clean rate, with supposedly the quickest response time to viruses, so I'll grab that.
