    nod32 is good, and it works on vista, best about it is, you wont event know you have it installed as it doesnt hog resources and does everyhing silently

    AVG free edition is good, NOD32 is supposed to be the best but you won't find a decent version on torrents since it needs to be cracked every day. I use norton memory hogger, but what the hell.

    nod32 for me. you can find good ones that expand the trial version for years. there was one posted in the d/l section but not sure what crack was like.

    I always like to use McAfee. We use it at work and its better than all the other brands i've tried. I've never had a Virus and i'm a bit of a porn whore so its a small miracle i've not got aids or something! I've never liked AVG for some reason. If you donwload the corprate McAfee it should just keep updating without needing a license etc

    Another vote here for NOD32- best of the best- in all respects. There are some great, erm, "fractured" versions out there too.

    NOD32.

    If you have the latest version and your crack isn't up to scratch , there is a site that posts new passes daily.

    PM me if you need the link.
    If you can smell it, it's in your mouth.
