I could use some opinions about antivirus software. Which one is the best?

The thing is that I'm suspecting a trojan somewhere in my system folder and want to get rid of it. Damn Kazaa.

My personal favorite is ALWIL Avast 4.
http://www.avast.com/
Home version is free.

I have tried many different A-V softwares, and Avast 4 is the best so far.

Although I have to recommend AVG 6 Free version if you have really low-end system. http://www.grisoft.com/

[Ulundel]

I'll check it out.

Another question. Which firewalls would you recommend? Not those free ones but something professional.

Well, I like Sygate Personall Firewall Pro. Good protection and good customization.

Uuuuh...45 trojans and 23 system viruses... WinME would be dead by now. Thank god that I just installed XP.

[Gortef]

geez that's quite a lot of viruses

Anyway I've used F-Prot for quite a while now... it's pretty good (maybe not so light but very effective)

[Ulundel]

I'm using Norton Antivirus 2003 professional

[Gortef]

That's a good one too

[Stunaep]

23 f***ing viruses!!!!

what, were they all dorment? The system should be an utter mass of unrecoverable bits by now.

What the........... NNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO

the Horror.

BTW - i hate Nortans with a Passion Scince it Uninstalled my Windows because it thought is was a Virus

[Tiara]

Some virusses get activated on a specific day in the month, maybe your lucky and haven't gotten to that day yet.

Ow and Norton SUCKS!

[Stunaep]

I had Norton. Lead me to a reformat, because a failed uninstall. Not uninstalling would fux0r my sound card drivers.

Use F-Secure.

i have an Anchent Version of McAffee on my CPU - donno why i even have it - it Sucks Ass

[Windrunner]

i have kaspersky antivirus on my laptop and it has kept it virusfree for this long.

[Ulundel]

I dunno what you people have againt the norton. It was the only prog that detected those viruses and resored my system. Others failed to do that.

[Fury]

I hate Norton because I have used Norton Internet Security 2003. Uninstallation sucks. It leaves Norton Anti-Virus left. Good think I had a restore point (XP) made just before I installed the piece of crap.

Norton Personall Firewall also has some incompatibilities with some websites, blocking sending messages on certain types of forums too.

Oh yeah, one of the older program updates to Norton Internet Security 2003 fuxored my system quite efficiently, had to reformat OS partition.

I hate Norton.

[Sesquipedalian]

Meh.  Norton works for me.

bah, disapointed. about 40 trojans
last time I ran an antivirus, I had a handful of trojans, and 80 virus! yeah!
on a side note, most virus do nothing, they just search a warm place to spend winter
