Just to let you know the FREE version is available for download and glad to say they decided to spend some money on the interface and bring it into this century.

nice!

I'll have a look, but the interface was one of the things I liked about it - simple and to the point and not memory intensive... you felt like it was there in the background.

Yep, I mentioned my experiences with it here.

NOD32 FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Right after I threw a virus at NOD32, that it did not detect, I have to disagree with that.

Same goes for AVG (Free & Pro)

Also taking into account that not All of these products will Always detect Every virus out there...

Thats why I'm still on AVG Free

Have been using AVG since 5 I think no one Virus since!

I had a mass mailing worm recently that no antivirus picked up:
AVG, Nod32, Avast, Symantec, McAffee, Panda, PcCillin, etc. etc.
It was on my system for over a month. I eventually installed Comodo firewall to block outgoing port 25 (smtp) to prevent it chewing up my bandwidth.

I booted to safe mode and AVG got it on full system scan.

As an aside, Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware picked it up first sweep too in testing... looks like a great backup tool for virusses and general malware...

The verdict - I will stick with AVG and use Malwarebytes in addition for periodic scans. I have also stuck with Comodo - excellent granular control over traffic and other firewall related stuff (registry, etc.)
