Free or Paid

What do you think is the best Anti-Virus software for Windows?

IMO my top 3 would be:

- Kaspersky
- AVG
- Nod32


What do you guys think?

Norton is great, some people complain about how much of a memory hog it is, however, the 2011 version is actually quite improved from the amount of CPU that the 2007/08 versions used to take up.

You forgot BitDefender as well. AVG is a piece of sh*t to be quite honest.

BitDefender, Kaspersky, Norton are the 3 that i've had the most success with on blocking intrusions and malware. Scanners in them are good too.

I personally have no problems with AVG, I have had plenty of positive experiences with AVG.

No avg is pretty bad in my opinion. Its misses a lot of malware and hogs up a lot of memory and ram.

Also my 100 post i think.

I would go for Avira. Kaspersky and ESET NOD32 are fine as well. Even Microsoft Essentials is catching up.
