^^ Yep. Its not a good idea to use more than one anti-virus in system. They can conflict with each other and can make the system slow.

If u want freeware, then go for avast! or AVG or AOL Active Shield. All r good.
In paid, go for NOD32. ;)

^^ All NOD32 updates r stored in following folder:

%Programfiles%\Eset\updfiles

So u can get these updates from ur friends/relatives computers using NOD32 and paste them in above mentioned folder. ;)

U can also download the update from NOD32 website, I think they allow it.

NOD32 is good but may become a resource hog.
Norton is crap & is a huge resource hog.
McAfee maybe good & is a resource hog.
Pc-Cillin 2006 is pretty good & is also not a resource hog.
Pc-Cillin 2007 is also good but it's interface is will take time getting used. use it only if u use Vista. Else v2006 is good enough.

Whats the cost of NOD32 compared to KAV and KIS? Which is less resource hungry? Planning to update my AV from PC Cillin 2006 (subscription ends in mid August)...
