    Any suggestions on good anti-virus software?

    Avira and NOD32 have a decent track record, as did Kaspersky until now.

    I don't have russiaphobia like the media does, but I never installed Kaspersky simply for the fact it's a russian antivirus program and half the time I catch an attack on my PC it originates from Russia, Ukraine, or China.
