| It all depends on how secure you want your PC bearing in mind that higher realtime protection standards such as Norton and Kaspersky have will reduce CPU performance.
I have made a list of the AV'S I have used over the years:
avast! - High detection rate and amazing realtime protection
AVG - Nice GUI, basically classed as a 'slimmed down' version of Kaspersky 7
Kaspersky 7 - High detection rate and some worthwhile premium features
Anyway, don't take my word for it, go out and grab the free trials and see whether you will suit a high detection rate AV such as NOD32 or Kaspersky or a free resource friendly AV such as avast!, AVG or Antivir. | |

Thanks for the info on different AV. However, i have been using ESET Smart Security for a month now as a trial and it works great, so i purchased it and am happily using it. So far i have managed to eliminate all the viruses that are up to my knowledge and it has good personal firewall which can easily be configured. The best thing about Eset Smart security is that, it uses very little resources. It seems to have little or no effect on my system perfromance. And i have also recommended about a dozen other people who were in need of security. And so far they dont seem to be complaining.
