Antivirus applications from Symantec, McAfee or Trend Micro -- the three leading AV vendors in 2005 -- are far less likely to detect new viruses and Trojans than the least popular brands.
Virus writers want the widest possible demographic, so they're write for the biggest programs and they'll test on the most popular AV software.
That's one of the reasons I use Gaim instead of Aim, Firefox instead of Explorer, Open Office instead of Office.
The same logic would lead me to choose the Mac OS over Windows, if Jobs wasn't such a retard about supporting game developers.
Oh, and for AV I use Kaspersky.
Although the best AV prevention remains the use of common sense while patrolling the danker corners of the internet.
