What's a good anti-virus that won't automatically delete my files?

[ned4spd8875]

Help! I'm trying to find a good anti-virus/internet security/all that stuff program that will give me full control of it and how it works. I DO NOT want it to automatically delete my files. I work in I.T. and have some questionable programs. I have them for security purposes and testing. Most anti-virus programs see them and delete them.

I have tried Norton 360 v2 and Internet Security 2009, but even though I have the option set to not automatically remove and to ask first, it's still deleting some of my stuff. This is unacceptable. Can someone suggest something that won't do this? I used to use Trend 2007 which worked fine. But I've never been a big fan of Trend and, besides, it's 2 years old now.

Any help/input/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

Hi

It is not so difficult. Good Av are Kaspersky, Nod32 and Norton recently Kaspersky is the best option maybe right now but I would take in consideration also NOD32. Both are easy to use. A good guide for easy users may be find at www.softputeria.com Good luck

Cheers

By the way. Both Kaspersky and NOD32 are first asking before choosing the way they clean.

Thanks for the reply. I've actually been using Avira AntiVir and it's worked well for me so far.
