It's a complete security solution with both anti-virus and anti-spyware in one.

In your opinion which of these 3 popular free AV is better?

Avira AntiVir PE? Avast Home Edition? or AVG Free Edition?

cHoLoCoY: If you setup nod32 properly, it want be hard to get a virus.
I have nod32, Lock'nStop, peerguardian 2 and processguard and until now, no virus, trojan or rootkit, all was blocked properly.
In the wilderssecurity forum (the official nod32 support forum), there are very good seetings for nod32 which prevent almost any infection.

Think about it ths way: If you wear a bullet proofed jacked and go into the warzone, it may protect you a long time, until somebody just shoot you in your head. Know what I mean? If you visit sites which hosts malware and so on, you increase your chance to get infected very much.
NO antivirus scanner, NO firewall, NO antispyware is 100% in detection, consider this.

im a nod32 user..ever since i got infected by w32/tenga
i shud try Lock'nStop, peerguardian 2 and processguard also coz im only relying on winxps firewall.
anyway, how much mem would be allocated for these three other apps?

You may have not updated your nod32 signature database. Tenda is long time in the signature database...
However, Lock 'n Stop uses around 3MB, Peerguardian 11MB with 7 full updated lists, processguard 9MB, so all in all not too much.

bro, based on my experience as a technical support, installing antivirus depends on the user jud... not all antivirus will detect virus the others are detecting. sometimes the virus thread are not the same with some antivirus. Nay daghan na antivirus na dili jud makakita maski updated pa ang iyahang definitions... try lang ug evaliuate further ang mga antivirus.

Peerguardian is freeware, Processguard and Lock 'n Stop is shareware.

With that software and a safe browser / safe browsing, usually nothing should happen.
