    I have read at forums that NOD32 is very good.
    I use AVG and I'm very pleased with it.
    At work(XP pro) we use Norton with no problems...
    Reality is what refuses to go away when I stop believing in it.

    AVG is a great one, they have a free version and a Pro pay for version. I've used the Pro version, and there really isn't much difference from that and the free version.

    AVG Anti-Virus

    Another anit-virus program which I believe should be on the list of those considering adding an anti-virus program is eTrust EZ Antivirus. I've been using it for several years now and find it effective, very easy to use, frequently updated to cover new virus and very easy to update. It's not free, but it's reasonably priced.
    You can find it here:

    if u can afford $19.95 per year , buy KAV lite
    Kaspersky Antivirus Lite

    if you want a free one, try either AVG as advised or try Avast4 from
    Avast
    it is a nice free product (better detection than AVG but uses more resources).
