AntiVir Personal Edition is a virus scanner that detects and removes more than 50,000 viruses. It recognizes macro viruses and can repair MS Office documents to remove the macro. The scanning engine uses heuristics to protect you against previously unknown macro, boot record and master boot record viruses. The resident Virus Guard automatically monitors file movements, e.g. while accessing files and downloading programs from the internet. The Internet-Update Wizard allows for easy updating of the program and the virus definitions. According to their website, AntiVir is always among the winners of comparison tests by computer journals. AntiVir is also available for Linux.
