    In the past, i've used McAfee and Norton. Both worked great.

    Now I use AVG ;_;
    It is generally well known for a free A-virus, but it seems that in tests it comes out pretty bad.

    I use AVG
    My only beef is that no matter what time I switch the scan to, I end up spending a lot of time on the computer at that time of day

    I'm using NOD32 as it isn't as heavy as Norton. Someone once recommended me this and since then I have been using it. It has been working without any problems so far :)

    Also, this is not gravedigging :p

    I like to use COMODO because it gives you a lot of options :D -- the only thing is that it has annoying popups sometimes T___T

    If you can get a hold of ESET that is one of the best out there. Especially for how light weight it is.

    yeah, the problem i have with most others is that I can tell when they're scanning or updating. Especially if you do live scans. Never have that problem with ESET
