Here is where you can find out what is really happening with AV tools:

The Virus Bulletin

ICSA Labs - TrueSecure Corp.

AV-Test
http://www.av-test.org/


Several of my knowledgeable MVP colleagues use, and recommend, AVG, but I
would never do so, despite its low cost (it's free). It has scored
relatively poorly, IMO, for a long time.
Since you already own eTrust Armor, I urge you to migrate to its AV tool,
no mattter which personal firewall you choose.
The eTrust AV has a small footprint, is fast, updates easily and quickly and
often, and is highly rated.
The CA eTrust version of the firewall is a rebranded version of the free
Zone Alarm, so you have a huge user community on whom to depend, if
necessary.

If costs were no object, I would probably choose NOD32 as the AV tool:

based on the ratings from the above organizations, and from one of my MVP
colleagues, who is very happy with it.
I have no personal experience with it, nor any other reports about it from
friends.

Hello Heather:

Knowing that you are an advocate of EZArmor, I would like your opinion on
whether to go back to EZAntivirus and EZFirewall, which I had lost and now
retrieved the exe. files, or keep the AVG Antivirus and Sygate Firewall,
which were installed for immediate protection.
EZArmor requires uninstalling any other Antivirus Software, before using
it.
I must say that I like AVG & Sygate quite a lot.
What's the verdict?

Harry, old and would prefer it both ways.
