Best antivirus thats easy?

So my office is gonna give up on Norton. Thank god!

But I am trying to figure out what is the best alternative antivirus out there that be good for work use.

ZoneAlarm Pro is an option since its an all in one package with firewall etc but I don't know how great is their anti-virus.

And what about reliable open-source antiviruss?

What about AVG AntiVirus?

I reccomend AVG, but you might have to pay for it if you're gonna use it at a work environment.

Open source-wise, theres clam AV, but that only runs on linux, and is designed for servers (i.e. email and file) that happen to serve data to windows machines.

I like F-Prot.
It's nice an clean. Updated daily.

NOD32 = win

kaspersky makes the virus engine for f-secure

and they are both good, except f-secure runs about 10 processes as a suite, monitoring registry changes script checking email checking etc etc

f-secure has a huge footprint but it watches every aspect of a windows system, its antivirus engine is kasperskeys so it will find nothing more than kaspersky will

nod32 i hear is good and uses a completely different engine

but norton and mcafee dont find as many as the kaspersky engine does

Please note, AVG sucks.
I can only gauge by the free version, from personal experience, but it's the lamest AV software Ive used in the last few years.
I use Avast! Antivirus at the moment, can't recomend it either way so far though.

In what way does AVG suck? Did it fail to detect the viruses you downloaded by going to www.hotlesbianpreteenmatureblowjobs.com.net.ru with IE 5.0?

I'm not #7, but I can confirm that he is infact right about that. First, it doesn't have a very good detection rate, I've hex edited and accessed an exe that I knew was infected with a virus, while it was running and it did nothing. Ofcourse it was updated to newest definitions. I tried with shitty norton anti virus afterwards and it detected the infected exe instantly, and deleted it before I could touch it with my hex editor.
Secondly, it looks like ass. Plain and simple. Maybe it's to be expected from a free anti virus, but I wouldn't want to run it let alone look at it. It's okay to use if you want a free anti virus, but I'm fairly certain there are better choises out there.

Truth. AVG almost always comes bottom, or close to, in lab virus detection tests. You get what you pay for.

Judging by some of the previous posts in this forum, every one of you is full of shit.

I've had AVG pickup viruses that norton wouldn't, and norton pickup viruses that AVG wouldn't. AVG is far more lightweight, and free does mean you get what you pay for. the professional version has a better detection engine.

YMMV.

So you suggest we're "full of shit" for saying AVG Free sucks, and prove your argument by saying the paid-for version is good? Miss the point much?

I use a very lightweight Norton I got free through PSU, it rocks.

I was going to let someone address the actual question, but people are stepping in to advise the shittiest AV on the market.
