I use Avast AV on desktops and servers, and its the best AV product 
around IMHO.  Its lightweight so doesn't hog resources,  I come across 
machines infected with virsues when they use Norton (yuk) Mcaffee, AVG 
etc etc but never have I had to clean a machine that was running Avast, 
speaks volumes really.

Just my 10pence worth...
