Any one tried Ewido.  I found it very good in trial and may get it when may
Symantec and Trend subscriptions are up

Avast found the virus that Kaspresky and Trendmicro found on my system (AVG
Free missed it), but I didn' care for the UI and the skins on their site
(yes, the AV is skin-able) really did it for me.  I don't have any issue
with the AV engine.

Norton's isn't my favorite.  From the AV engine perspective it's great, but
Symantecs products litter the registry and don't uninstall cleanly.  I've
had one too many issues with their products to feel I can recommend them to
friends and family. You know, the folks who's PC I'd end up fixing if there
was an issue.

I actually like http://www.avast.com .  They seem to have a good product 
and there prices are pretty good as well.  But is all depends on your 
needs.  For instance, I use http://www.clamav.net/ on my email servers 
and I have had very good success w/ it.  But I have been using avast on 
XP workstation and it works very good as well.  I never really liked 
Nortans and Trend-Micro seemed to have a larger footprint when running 
on our servers.
