    depends very much on what to do, I in my lan with six machines use different antivirus (avast, avira, avg, panda, etc.) to the output of the modem for broadband I have a linux firewall, Endian, which contains all 'interior, an excellent ClamAV antivirus, which filters upstream before they do any backdoor or worm damage, the linux machine has 2 ethernet cards into one entering the other ADSL signal sends the filtered signal to the wireless lan.
    double protection I need for my type of work and at Nelly also daily personal computers.
    You can find information about http://www.endian.com/it/community/download/
    Download the ISO distro linux runs well on a dual core processor with 1GB of RAM and a hard drive 80/160 GB, depending on what you do, you need at least two network cards.
    Good luck and have fun

    I'm using AVG too since many many years, really not a bad choice I think,
    at least my PCs were never dissorted (much) by any viruses so far Smile.

    Chosing an Anti-Virus is always a tough choice as there are lots of tests and many different winners.

    Here is a test that the users on the Wilders Security Forum found interesting: http://www.tomsguide.com/us/best-free-antivirus-2012,review-1767.html#xtor=RSS-998

    AV-Test ( http://www.av-test.org/en/tests/test-reports/ ) and AV-Comparatives ( http://www.av-comparatives.org/ ) are accredited AV testers and offer some idea as to which programs are good.

    Cheers.
