I have been researching antivirus programs in relation to their effectiveness, and as I thought many of the major programs have a detection rate of 20-30%. However, from some reviews I have read the antivirus software NOD32 seems be very effective (with a 95% detection rate). Can anyone else attest to this?

I just rely on not downloading shady shit, and the viruses don't happen at all.

I read somewhere that Avira has the best detection with the least false-positives.
I am trying it now... the free version likes to spam pop-ups every other day to buy the full version. It's starting to piss me off. |

I use Clamwin for when I need a virus scanner and I use clamav on my companies mailserver. It's a very good package and haven't had any problems with it yet. It's also the least resource sapping virus scanner I've ever used.
Signature temporarily out of order until I get off my lazy ass to fix it. |

The Dutch help files aren't though, I can't stand computers or any electronics speaking Dutch to me... the translations are horrible and it just reads so... wrong...
