Other: none.

Haven't had one in over a decade and probably never will again. Complete waste of time and resources, since none of them actually protect you against new viruses anyway.

Nod32, it's enough for me since I only visit trusty sites and download already tested files Smile

What sort of scores does it get in tests compared to other AV? I looked after everyone here first started raving about it and it didn't do very well.

MS:E and NOD failed me both. Avira didn't. BTW what Dhaos says is true, AVIRA is a pain in the ass even if you tell it to ignore a file. What you have to do is open the avira application go to the settings of the avira guard and add an exception for that file. Very complicated Sad

I haven't used AV software for years, untill MSE came to my attention. I regularly install AV software on people's PC (apparently not clicking on that vague link in the sexmail is hard), MSE shits on all paid software.

So much truth. NOD has failed me too many times, not sure why people still use it. Avira has always been excellent, although right now I use Avast.
