AntiVir v7 has a better detection rate.

Come on DM, lighten up, come down out of the clouds and back to earth and mingle with us common folks, the ones you look down on. I didn`t knock your link or reference you at all, I did post politely and not stomp on Joe as you did. I use the software Joe listed, they work for me, so as my right to post my opinion, I did. Go back and look, no remarks to you period. I`ll even go one step more and say your links were good reading and even relevant. We`ll post a little star at the top of your post, way to go sweetie pie ;)

Jenny, you have a history of attacking 99% of the posts that I make, and it's one reason I rarely visit this forum. I wasn't attacking Joe's links; I was merely offering my opinion and providing a link to another free AV. Even if you agreed with AntiVir being the better of the 3 AV's you'd disagree with me out of spite. Maybe you can start being helpful instead of hateful......then again it's people like you get a kick out of trying to one up everyone else. Even then I'd expect nothing less since since you're supposedly the "head of IT" in your neck of the woods.
