Default What is the best antivirus?

Hello there!
Can you please suggest me the best antivirus? Free or paid one - it doesn't matter.

You'll get almost as many opinions on this as their are AV programs. My personal preference is AVG, but the company I work for is standardized on Trend.

Wanna know the absolute best AV? Unplugging your ethernet cord/not going online at all .

Technically there is no "best" AV, because they all have their flaws and not all of 'em will pick up everything. I use Nod32 though, personally, and have AVG on my parents' computer.

The best one is the one that you keep updated and use regularly. Best bet is to have more than one if you can. I use AVG on all my computers at home. And I do an online scan on the trendmicro site weekly.
