    used to use AVG - but got NAV bundled with my new machine. Have been put off it though by a guy in work here who used AVG at home, and kept it updated, and just bought Norton at the weekend and it discovered over 4000 infected files on his machine... found it very irritating at times when it would dicover a virus but couldn't repair the file...

    I originally started using NAV which was working out okay for me until a friend told me to try out AVG,ran a check with NAV before installing AVG and then ran a check with AVG after installation and AVG picked up a lot more viruses than NAV did(no viruses in installation btw).
    its really up to yourself,NAV has lots of fancy options while AVG has a lot of options its more based on total virus elimination
