If your company said buy 3 retail anti-virus programs for a few laptops.

unlimited (realistic) budget

Norton IS 2006 broke IE for me so I had to uninstall it, then go to symantec to find out how to remove the bits that uninstalling left in place. So not Norton.

The free version of AntiVir has worked well for me, so I'd probably just get a commercial license pack from them.

 

[slpaulson]

kaspersky or nod32

 

[Captante]

Kaspersky would be my first choice.

 

[tranceport]

McAfee, Virusscan Enterprise 8.5i is simply perfect.

See my sig for detection rate tests

Have you experienced the hell that is 8.0i? It sucks. I'd love it if 8.5 improved things.

Oh, and Kaspersky, NOD32 or AntiVir

Three all at once? Wouldn't there be conflicts?

I too would recommend Kaspersky and Nod32.

I was running 8.0i before with no problems and now I run 8.5i with no troubles

Symantec antivirus. (Not norton, but symantec corporate antivirus.) Simply brilliant.
Ofcourse, who needs antivirus anyways? I most certainly don't have one. And no firewall either.

 

[monsterstealth]

bump for symantec antivirus. Incredible program. Seems to have no bloat at all, and use 1/100th of the system resources of any other antivirus program.

 

[Malfeas]

What about BitDefender? I use it and don't have any problems, and it seems to work well.

 

[Kappo]

I like Nod32 then Kapersky.

Symantec 8 patch 11 brought our organization to a crawl.

 

[corkyg]

Anything but Symantec or McAfee. Kaspersky is great - so is AVG.

 

[archcommus]

Everyone's going to say Kaspersky but for some reason most businesses and institutions seem to favor Symantec 10.1, which really isn't that bad.

Symantec Corp 10.1 is an outstanding AV and one of my favorites for the SMB.

NOD32 FTW.

 

[slpaulson]

We can get Symantec for free at school, and I've seen so many computers with that antivirus that have been infested with viruses that it isn't even funny.

 

[phantom404]

Using Symantec 10 right now on my laptop for work. Really good especially if your laptop is resource limited. Also detects some spyware I've noticed. I know my previous job at Acxiom uses it and it works great.

Webroot spysweeper with antivirus. Low resource usage, detects spyware, viruses, and rootkits. Use it on this computer flawlessly. Just having antivirus protection these days isn't the smartest move. I've found that spyware is much more pervasive, and people are always going to be dumb.
