As I said in another thread:

Hard to agree on the "best" antivirus. It's all in the eyes of the beholder. Some are good, others are better and some are bad.

The best Anti-Virus/Firewall are the ones not being attacked.

I cant say which one is good or bad, When i used Free Avg on my desktop, i had many trojans when i checked with Norton 360, on second when i used avast on lappy [Laptop] McAfee detected one virus in it, so it all makes me so confused, even recently when my McAfee got expired and i used norton 360 it detected virus, so i think the big bugs are all these antivirus, but yea cant even work even without them especially on web.
So now i have decided to use some other Antivirus and see how they functions, any more ideas guys on something good one..
