Kaspersky seems to be running neck and neck with Nod32 althrough I have not
tried it so I can't say.
http://www.kaspersky.com/
Norton I remember scored faily high but not as good as the two above,Norton
I have used in the past,I never had a virus while using it but it is a
resource hog! Also a scan with Norton (On my old system) took an average of
90 minutes on a 80 gig drive 1.6gig P4 and 1gig of ram the scan with Nod32
took
5 minutes for a quick scan and 25 minutes for a full system through scan.
