The best anti-virus software

I get the question "Which anti-virus software do you recommend?" commonly. My answer is the same:

"Free? or paid?"

If free, your choices are limited. The most common being Avast, AntiVir, and AVG. We use Avast free anti-virus at Western Sky PC due to our successful history with it, but what about paid software?

"I don't know, let me find out."

That's my answer. Always. I then go to a site that compares anti-virus software, find the current best based on their reports and provide an informed answer to the client.

(If you're curious the current best according to AV comparatives is F-Secure.)
