1199505 2011-05-06 05:57:00 How long is a piece of string ?

Meaning, it doesn't really matter simply because at the moment, none of the free ones, and most of the paid ones are failing to stop the latest batch of malware.

Over the last few weeks, I have had PC's with MSSE, Avast, AVG, Trend, Norton, and one with Nod32 all infected by malware.

Just today I finished cleaning out a PC that had 4 boot sector infections, and a load of trojans, As soon as you tried to do anything, it would blue screen - in the end I ran Nod32 from the rescue cd you can make, that cleaned them out enough to enable full cleaning. Then had to run various other removal programs to remove other trojans / malware.

It had Avast originally, which got totally toasted by the infections.
