    * Microsoft Security Essentials (*)
    * Kaspersky Antivirus (+)
    * ESET NOD32 Antivirus (+)

    (*) Needs the POSReady "trick" to update/function

    garbage is in the eye of the beholder

    if you choose to start a thread detailing programs that will work on xp, then you cannot choose what will be added simply because you do not like the program

    good is in the eye of the beholder, then, :) as I believe 360 is the best.

    Amen, sister!

    WindowsXPforever, Your avatar, ( I assume thats Bill 'satan" Gates there) Is the reason XP is being crushed. "Still using XP, no upgrades for you!!"
    Also why so few AV's, among other things, work with XP anymore.

    Yes 360 is very good. I have been using it for about an year. A number of detection were made and neutralized during this period.

    I have seen the post at this link and as much as the other person I am also entitled to my own convictions that I have arrived at, with actual experience of using this program. Half a dozen of my friends also use this as their primary antivirus.
