    Be honest, there is no such "best" AV. It's only best user.

    You can have good AV, firewall and ad-aware apps, and still you can compromise your security. It's about WHAT you doing with computer.

    Kapersky without a doubt. You get more than an anti-virus, you get additional protection for the family (monitoring kids activity, blocking bad sites, etc.). What sold me is their support when a virus breaks through (and it happens to all anti-virus software if you download or on the internet a great deal). I was back up and running very quickly and the virus was eliminated.

    This link will take you to kapersky to check it out and get you $15 off and free tax software. Great deal right now!
