I use Kaspersky 6. Its the best.
i think Antivir was okay coz it detected 165 threats in my External while AVG found ony two. Or it might be designed to thnk all fles are threats. It even said that my explorer was a suspicious invader coz it was trying to inject into something

I am surprised to see tat ther is no Antivir antivirus in tat list. i hav it on my system n i say its really good. low on resources n very good in detecting virus. I guess its underrated. but its really good.

I use Active Virus Shield, it's detection rate is very nice, moreover it's free..

it's very sad to hear that avs has been discontinued for download by AOL (they are now offering a mcafee version of internet security) :-( have to manually update my avs, but i'm happy with it..
it also uses kaspersky's bases, that is why it is good at detecting viruses.
i believe those ratings. :)
