What is the best antivirus software, how about free antivirus software?

Q. I was just wondering what people's opinion was on the best antivirus software. Download or available for retail purchase, and what people think about the free antivirus programs such as avg, clamwin, and bit defender. Thanks!

A. The best antivirus software (that you have to pay for) is in my opinion two different ones:
Kaspersky- Extremely Secure AV, but really HD intensive excellent choice for desktops
Eset Nod32- Very Low Memory Usage this is HUGE when it comes to a laptop or other mobile device where you might not have the memory to spare like a desktop.
Free AV: Definitely a fan of the open source ClamWin for windows and Clam for Linux, also I like avast but it had trouble getting rid of a couple Trojans that I took care of with bit defender but the problem is windows still says you don't have any anti virus with all the free ones except AVG which as they mentioned is leaving mid January. Hope that helps ;-)

What does a Mikrotik server do that they use it for sharing satellite connections with friends?
Q. Mikrotik is latvian (eastern european) and is said to be edgy in the computer sense , like the russian kaspersky vs american antivirus suites ; So i ask the computer experts here, what is it that Mikrotik has that could be used for purposes such as these?

A. Mikrotik is a firewall/router. You can load a PC version of it (software), or buy hardware routers with it built in.
Basically it is a "*inux" based system (it may be BSD), that you install and then you have to add all the firewall rules, etc. FOr a very small package, it is quite powerful. I use it as my main firewall at home on a spare PC and 2 network cards.
There are many other Linux based firewalls, all free (Mikrotik has a small license fee).
