Best antivirus solution for post production workstations?

Hello there,

i am looking for a good and fast antivirus solution for our workstations. I am thinking about Nod32 but before i buy some licenses i'd ask for some experiences.

Is there a perfect scanner for environments with Maya, Fusion and the most Adobe tools?

Thank you so far,

Sven

I'm using Avira (free version) at home, and I'm very happy with it. It's the first time I see an antivirus so fast I can't feel when it's on.

At work I'm using BitDefender, which is more complete (with anti-spam and other functionalities not found in Avira free), but seems definitely slower.

Ditching Windows. The reason being - any potent antivirus solution needs to scan files when doing IO. This would slow any performant workstation to a crawl. You would also need runtime process inspection for every process - also a performance killer.

In this case having no antivirus is the only option.
