Which Anti-virus do you use

[Eldonko]

I use none. I run 3 OS, 2 customized for benching, 1 for 24/7. I reinstall windows so much there is no point for me.

Kaspersky 6.0 didn't really helped me, neither did avast or nod32, gonna switch on AVG or Pc Cillin...

[Babrbarossa]

Do you mean that those three let stuff through? Did you find Kaspersky to be bloated?

[omgwtf]

EXACTLY. Kaspersky blocked all kind of shit for me, he said that there were ad aware and stuff like that, rundll32.exe and other stuff, nod32 didn't find all the viruses, same goes for avast.

Kaperspy + Spyware Blaster + Spybot keep me nice and safe.
Getting rid of windows firewall would be nice, but I'm too lazy to configure my routers firewall

I've used Norton, McAfee, Avast, AVG, Nod 32, Kaperspy and some more and Kaperspy has been the best to me out of all of them. Though I do find it a little paranoid... OMG! a program called CPUz is trying to run, it MUST be spyware...

Eset's Nod32 2.7 | The Best Antivirus Product of 2007
QUOTE: A number of people criticized my selection last year of F-Secure's Anti-Virus 2006 as the Best Antivirus Product of 2006 for Windows. And now I'm going to have to eat crow, because in 2007, those people are right. Eset's Nod32 2.5 came in second last year, despite the fact that I had several criticisms of it.

Symantec Corporate 10, I get it for free through my school.

[Moneyless]

I use NOD32. Nothing gets through. :3

Been a loyal user for Kaspersky for about 2 years now :D Never failed me, a great little app that runs in the background and doesn't take up too much resources.

I just happened upon a few articles a few weeks ago on how good each anti-virus programs are.

I use Kaspersky Internet Security on all my computers and swear by it ... Thankfully, my $29.95 + shipping OEM copy came with an 1-year, unlimited PC commercial license, so I was able to install it on all my computers without a hitch. I used to run NOD32 from 2004-2006 (which also provides excellent protection), but I grew tired of the false positives, the terrible UI, and the relatively high price. Before that, I ran Norton from 2001-2003 and was quite satisfied with it. Interestingly enough, Norton 2003 not only took up less memory but caught more viruses than Norton 2004-2006 in my testing (tested on my old computer after making a backup image).

AOL Active Virus Shield is an excellent freebie which provides all the signatures-based protection of Kaspersky but is lacking heuristics. Avira is pretty good, too. I know it's popular, but I've seen more than a few AVG-protected computers that fell victim to viruses at work.
