Always confused
yeah i tried norton360 v3 and found that it is really lite on resources. I used it for 30 days on windows 7 beta and found that really fast. But it fails at detecting some updated USB viruses. When I keep my pendrive only autorun/autoprotect viruses are checked.

Both are equally good at detection. But I favour Kaspersky in terms of performance...

hmm! it seems that there are many geeks in this forum! good to see this! at least india has done lotta progress in this field.. and regardin' this topic, i'd prefer norton to KAV ..coz, i think that kav isn't far good detecting the cryptic virri signature! ..suppose for an instance, you pack any malicious code via armadillo and then re-check it(provided that you modify some of the chunks)..you can easily fool kav, whilst you can't fool norton..since it got a good n-gram feeder that checks the code real good!

Kaspersky works good for me and is quite freely available and is affordable. therefore, my vote goes to Kaspersky

i vote for norton 2010
one feature is improved in this version
to wipe out virus is really very fast as compared to 2009 edition
it was pain in the ass for the removal of virus!!! Wasn't it dude
Norton 2009 is good than it's previous versions but still it's not that solid. For instance : once my comp hanged in windows & I had to reboot it using the reset button. After that norton 2009 never started. ( don't know if it's solved in 2010 version )
& KIS is slow like hell.
So for all of these things I reverted back to my good old trusted AV program Avira

Recently bought a genuine retail pack of KIS 09. I discovered that you can't really compromise security with piracy.
^^ Yup, 100% True. That's why after using NAV 2009 ( Trial ) I reverted back to Avira Personal free edition.
& for firewall there is always the trusted comodo.
For spyware spyboat search & destroy, Adware & MAlwarebytes Antimalware ( highly recommended one ---- it rescued me many times )

BTW, some of my friends are using K7 AV which they are saying is better than KIS and NIS
Well considering the post volume, this was the only one I found worth replying in this section
Din't try K7 yet. Is is light enough?
Yup, That's light enough. It uses only 10-12 MB mem and the scan speed is really fast
As for detection Rates well that vary from AV to AV and mostly from what kind of work a user is doing on his rig ( pun intended ) - well you know the drill.
BTW, still I would vote for Avira Antivir Personal, Comodo firewall+Malwarebytes antimalware+spybot combination anyday over any other AV and security suites
