Just wanna say that in my experience, the best AVs I've had are
Kaspersky's and NOD32.
Kaspersky seems to be the undisputable king at detecting the most
viruses/malware (with little to no false positives at all) and staying
extremely up to date (every 3 hours, in fact), but NOD32 closely
follows after it (updating a few times a day and rarely having false
positives), with the extra bonus of using minuscule system
resources...
NOD32 running (idle) on my laptop right now is using just 22Mb of my
precious 2Gb. Kaspersky uses a little more (as do most other AVs), and
I always want to have as much ram free as I can spare for things like
XSI.
For my laptop, I am in love NOD32 for its lightweight use of
resources. That's all I have to say. :)
A good report on % of viruses detected by a variety of AVs is here:
http://www.virus.gr/portal/en/node/28
(Don't let the domain scare you: it's a site dedicated to being
protected, not spreading stuff.)
Every few months they do a new report using their massive private
collection of samples and report on who detected best. (Isn't it sad
to see the ever-so-popular Norton at #21? Sheesh!)
Hope AVG updates the definitions to detect that malware that appeared
on your template.
Cheers,
