Anti-Virus Package

In my view Panda is *greatly* underestimated.-Lusher (September 09, 2007, 02:27 AM)

I'm working on a mini-review on Kaspersky, since I just switched to it after an infection bad enough that I had to pave over my whole system. I had been using Panda, but the virus managed to deactivate it. So I no longer have any confidence in that package.
superboyac:
Ooo...Kaspersky mini-review! I'll be looking forward to that!
I use it right now (Kaspersky Internet Security 7.0). I like it.
iphigenie:
I'm still using bitdefender - some of the problems I had have disappeared with the launch of the new version, and the track record in tests is pretty good - all the better ones cost a lot more for very similar results on average. That is based on other people's tests, though.
f0dder:
Hm, I'm staying far away from BitDefender, it has caused nothing but grief on machines with HyperThreading (I assume it's the same for dualcore or SMP boxes) - various program crashes as well as BSODs. Might have improved in more recent versions, but well...
Darwin:
So far, knock on wood (Darwin raps his own head and enjoys the dull echo the action produces. Ooohhh...), I've had good luck with SpySweeper with Antivirus. I realise that others have had terrible problems with it but it's brilliant on my notebook (SpySweeper standalone really cripples my wife's notebook though, and it's got faster RAM, a bigger harddrive, dedicated graphics and a much faster processor - weird - I wonder if there is a conflict with AVG Pro, which she is running as her antivirus?). Sophos *seems* to be well respected in the AV sphere, so I assume that I am in good hands.
