  I just stumbled upon this open source Antivirus called Moon Secure Antivirus
  (http://www.moonsecure.com/). I wonder if it is any good. It uses the same virus database as ClamWin but with real-time scanning.
  
  Seems very new. I would appreciate if anyone can tell me whether it is any good. I was going to go for Comodo Antivirus but apparently Comodo does not run on Vista.
  
  I plan to use this AV on an office computer. So AVG & Avast out of the question.

  Clamwin is actually based on ClamAV, which is actually for Linux. It has a decent detection rate, but seriously, it's quite slow. For some known viruses, it sometimes doesn't detect.
  
  But Moon Secure is looking at other methods of improving, by way of heuristics. This will hopefully reduce the reliance on signatures which Clamwin is seriously lacking of.
  
  Can't seem to find the post now... saw it at Spybot forums...
  
  Bah, moved out of view. Don't ask why.
