I like antivir a little better myself. It's scanning engine seems good and it's lighter on the resources for me.

Do you know if AntiVir is better at caching trojans ,i know ive ran into a few that it couldent remove and i had to use trend sysclean.

Not sure to tell you the truth. I haven't come across any so far while using either antivir or avg or norton, so no experiences to share with ya. May want to look for a free online scanner for viruses/trojans. Not sure if this one is good or not, but here it is: http://www.windowsecurity.com/trojanscan/
