What anti-virus should I get?

[wurzel]

AVG just doesn't work for me - I'm on Windows Vista, everytime I boot up I get an error saying that the AVG service failed to start. Have tried reinstalling but to no avail.

http://free.avg.com/ww.download-avg-...s-free-edition and get http://www.ccleaner.com/download at the same time. With cc cleaner make sure you don't allow some of the annoying extras to be installed. A little time spent and they both work well. While you are at it http://www.kessels.com/Jkdefrag/ is a great defragger, it will run in the background when the computer is idle, you can set it to defrag all your drives and switch off when finished. I think the screensaver option is the one to acivate for when the pc is idle. Great if you have a large drive and do a lot of work. Have fun

Eset NOD32 is the best I have ever implemented. Very small footprint about 5 daily incremental updates and never seen an issue with it

AVG was great until version 8 now they overblown it in the name of "progress"

I use nod32 across all my servers and workstations - agreed, good software.

Kaspersky 2009 works for me. Some time ago you could grab it as a Barclays special offer. This product has more than 12 years history and finally last year it came to the UK.

I'm with JoJo.

NOD32 is perfect for Webbooks (particularly those with SSDs).

I'm very happy with it..
