I think Avast! 4.7 and NOD 32 is the best anti-virus avaliable.
But I use Avast! 4.7 since NOD 32 isn't free.

Avast is a great free anti-virus, and NOD 32 is certainly the best paid for product. However, I still prefer to use CAVS as I find the HIPS feature to be excellent and my systems give me less trouble now that at any time in the past.

Currently use CFP, CAVS and BOClean.

i think CAV is the best antivirus for some reason :
1) it's free (:TNG)i love free product, but i hate free edition (free edition means there's a pro edition or
    platinum edition and the free one is a crippled edition)
2) it's got HIPS

my second choice is NORMAN VIRUS CONTROL, thought it's not free, it's got better virus definition, coz it's got local support in my country, so the detection rate for local virus is higher than other

The option "other" is a little too early. The big players should be included.

Once CAVS is out of beta, we all know what will be the best  Grin .

I agree Smiley

I prefer Avast! over AntiVir as a freeware scanner because AntiVir gives too many false positives on heuristic scanning. And I prefer NOD 32 over Kaspersky as a paid scanner because NOD 32 has the best heuristic scanner on the market.

But my vote goes to NOD 32 Smiley

Depends on how you have the preferences, if you are on expert mode and heuristic on high detection you will have some FP

I have heuristics set to middle (default) and have seen three or four false positives within about six years. When I encounter one I upload it and in the next update it is corrected.
