Anti-Viral Software Recommendations?

Kris_J asks: "My InoculateIT Personal Edition anti-virus scanner will no longer be updated from around mid-March. I've really enjoyed this package, particularly the price (it's free for personal use). The company is complaining that so many new ways are being found for virii/worms/trojans to spread that they can't afford to keep the personal edition updated. Whatever. Does anyone have a recommendation for either a particular anti-virus package/bundle, or a good place for trusted, independant, reviews of anti-virus software, or even products to avoid. (If Zonealarm Pro was bundled with an anti-virus option I'd just get that.)" For those of you who have to deal with operating systems where viruses are a problem, what software do you use to detect them and weed them out? How about software that will scan your entire network?

    If your current operating system vendor is unable to provide you with a hassle-free environment, maybe your company should be looking elsewhere for those services? Of course, switching operating system is not something you do in a jiffy, but considering the problems you seem to be having, have you at least evaluated the alternatives? What was the result?
