I know a few computer pros who swear by Avast. I've installed it on 3 PCs in the last month and those users are happy with it too. On one of the PCs it picked up a trojan that NAV 2003 w/all current updates missed.

thanks cisco, i have a similar setup, using adaware, spyware blaster, spyware guard, and of course ZA....i am also coming up on my renewal date of NAV and decided i would look at a different program.....reading ahead, i see that several are quite happy with avast as well.. one other question though, if i choose to download one of the other antivirus programs, should i remove NAV before the process? and in doing so, wouldn't leave my computer vulnerable to infection (for however short a timeframe) or can i leave NAV running during the process thanks again
