antivirus Nod32 or pctools treatfire? (Score 1)

At one time free avg, avr, and avast worked well against anything, but in the last couple of months its seems like, "the scourge is getting deeper..." And by the way you don't need to use internet explorer to get infected. It's well known if you install windows fresh with nothing else and plug it in the internet it would be infected without intervention of anybody within 15 minutes. I personally done this and its true (I was curious, note: firewall was off). So far the only thing that works well to me, even on most infected computers is Nod32 from www.eset.com. At the moment I'm trying out PcTools Threatfire to see how good it works and so far it works well but not like Nod32 yet. Most computers I disinfect have Norton or MacAfee, but I have to be honest most times it's because it has expired (for years!!!). There has been times I have fixed a computer with brand new Norton or MacAfee installed and will be infected (its not that unusual). So far none of the Nod32 computers has been fully compromised like norton. I think only once it had trouble taking out one virus file but Nod32 did a good job of protecting the computer and itself. The file was locked; I deleted it after taking ownership of it and was deleted. This includes scanning from different scanners afterwards. The system turned normal after that. Sad enough, free antivirus are not holding up like they used to
