I was a faithful NOD32 user for years through version 2.7. The newest version (3.0) seemed to be heading in the direction so many great av's go down... bloated and trying to do too many things. I switched over to AntiVir free and have been quite happy with it. Martin: do you know if the trick to prevent avnotify from popping up will work with the new version 8 of AntiVir Personal?

The thing is, when it comes to Anti-Virus software, I don't mind paying if the product is actually good. After a lot of research and talking to various people, I actually settled on NOD32.
