ESET NOD32 and/or ESET Smart Security (depending on if I set it behind NAT and/or if someone wants spam protection and a firewall). Why ? It's fast and lightweight, has good support and a nice success rate of finding new threats. Doesn't slow the OS down.

Avira, best free anti virus out there, whats the point of the "They all suck" option? come on

anyways, anti spyware is more sueful but with my isp if you get infected your account gets suspended, if it happens 3 times you get blacklisted and weve already gotten one twice

I use Symantec's Norton 360 2.0 on my desktop and Avast! Home 4.8 on my notebook.

Norton 360 because it's very good and I didn't pay for it, and Avast! for my notebook because it's good 'n light.

if your looking for a light antivirus antivir is the best, has probably the smallest footprint of all of them with the highest detection rating

Actually, I use 2. But, both are free to me. On my main rig I use AVG. On my 2nd rig, I use McAfee -- only because Comcast provides it free and, in some way, it makes sense to use their program in order to argue that I'm using THEIR program if I ever do get infected.

But, I don't open unsolicited emails from unknown sources and I don't visit sites that would infect either of my systems.
