If you had to chose between one, which one do you think is better:
Kaspersky or NOD32 and why?

Caesar,

As a new WinXP user, when I dumped NAV (it died on me), I installed AVG while I investigated my options. Based on the recommendations of the Gurus around here --- Dave, Art, and many, many others --- I looked at NOD32 and KAV. There is no doubt in my mind, that if one or the other works on your system with your needs, purchasing a license for that AV app would be a good value.

I chose KAV, at the time, for one reason, and one reason only. I lurked in both the NOD32 and KL fora (forums) for a while and was impressed with the KL support groups. Being a part of the KL community looked like something that I would not only enjoy, but also find informative and helpful. I have not changed my mind in the last year or so.

Kaspersky Labs Forum
(http://forum.kaspersky.com/)

Official Eset NOD32 Antivirus Forum - hosted by Wilders

Wot's a 'fora'.

Not in any dictionary I know. :-)

It's the plural of Forum, of Latin etymology.

(http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=forum&db=*)

Due to the "dumbing down" of the masses, the alternative Forums has recently found favor, just as the ignorati (a play on the word illuminati) have now imposed indexes (as the plural of index, not the verb, third person singular, which has always been acceptable) on the English-speaking world.

Coming to a discussion near you soon, I am sure, will be the word oxes, a team of which can be used to pull a wagon containing the collective knowledge of our ancestors to the scrap heap of yesteryear.

Ron :)
