Are the paid versions even worth the money? I am using MSE and am very happy with it.

Re: Anti-Virus for 2011
Nothing. I hate how it slows a PC down. Maybe Clam just to scan what you downloaded from the net.

Re: Anti-Virus for 2011
So Avast is the way to go? AVG 2011 is busy detecting WoW and the wowlauncher as malware. Seems Avast is the way to go then?
Re: Anti-Virus for 2011
AVG would probably detect its own executable as a virus given the chance.

AVG is a pathetic excuse for an antivirus!
I'm still a Kaspersky follower personally.
In my own experiences, I'd found Kaspersky better than NOD32
Although it has been awhile since I last used NOD32, think I'm just a KIS fanboi now
I am 63% addicted to Counterstrike. What about you?

Re: Anti-Virus for 2011
used to be my first choice, not anymore... eset's product has become incredibly bloated, while slipping somewhat in the speed and detection stakes...DeathStrike wrote:paid.... nod32 hands down
both avast and avira antivir offer well balanced products - excellent detection at decent speeds with minimal FPs..
for the KIS fanbois, be aware that kaspersky suffers more FPs than AVG at relatively slower scan speeds, while delivering virtually identical detection results... :/... av-comps
