I always have Avast running in the background. I also have Malwarebytes installed but I only use it rarely when I get a suspicion Avast is missing something. It might not be doing much but hey at least it makes me feel a bit better.

I'm using Norton Internet Security. I'm really satisfied with it. I haven't gotten any viruses, it never bothers me with unnecessary pop-ups and it has only given me problems once. I've had it for 6 months.

Yeah, I would recommend it.

Norton's good for a few months, but after it expires, it's really annoying that it has to constantly remind you to buy the full version. I'm using a combination of Avast!, Malwarebytes, and Super Anti Spyware. Not one virus has even dared trying to mess up my laptop. Plus all of them are free.

Avast. Effective and free, though you can get the special version if you're determined to spend money. I use it in collusion with malwarebites and don't have any problems.

Well I have yet to get webroot, so I'm relying on Malware bytes for everything.
So for? It's gone... ok

Avast, free for life (well you need to re-register every 365 days) and I've not had a virus in 3 years...and if you knew the places I've been...

Windows Firewall + Microsoft Security Essentials

You'd be surprised how effective it is when you know how to set up the settings.

I used to use AVG too, switched to Avira now.

Scanning every result in google? no thanks!

Erm.. some kinda LazerMammoth3000 or something. I dunno. Something that works I guess, havent got a virus so far in 2 years..
Avira? I think.. it says AntiVir on it.

I used to use AVG free, but then it stopped updating itself so I uninstalled it and now can't find a link to a free download, I can only find the trial version.

Microsoft Security Essentials. It's suprisingly good, normally I wouldn't trust anything that oozed out of Redmond, but this does it's job well and doesn't put much of a load on system resources. I occasionally run Malwarebytes Anti-Malware just to check for spyware/adware/etc. Never find any, though.
I wouldn't go near McAfee if they paid me, same goes for Norton. Useless steaming piles of software that they are.

Microsoft Security Essentials. It's free, if you use Windows 7. It's fairly minimalistic, just the stuff you'd expect an antivirus to do.

I'd certainly recommend it over all the paid AVs like Norton etc.

F-Secure. Got a 4 year contract with my laptop and have only had one issue in the last 2 1/2 years, which was simply sorted because I had backed-up all of my files so restoring it all was pretty straightforward.

I have no idea how it compares to others because nobody else I know uses F-Secure.

This.
I was pleasantly surprised by how good Microsoft Security Essentials is.
Came from McAfee and this is just a little ray of sunshine compared to that steaming pile of crap.
Thanks Microsoft for doing something right! :D
