Nod32, www.eset.com

Seriously shows on the independant rating lists. It's also the smallest footprint and most unobtrusive you're gonna get on a PC.

SCRUE Norton...its a PIG.

use AVAST

Free registration, runs on Windows XP64 too! Catches everything..updates almost daily!

Oh and its FREE!

The only thing the free version dont do is automatically schedule HD scans...you actually have to push a button once a week.

I also use CCleaner (Free) after every session as well. I highly recommend.

This is on an XP PC up to date with automatic updates/patches.

Shameful plug.

Get a copy of our Internet Security Suite.

PC Mag 4 out of 5 stars.

We have all these crazy rebates that get you the product for free.

And yes, we honor our rebates.

Believe it or not the CEO of a $4 billion company gets royally pissed if he thinks someone is getting hosed for a $19 rebate.

Personally I use the OSX option.
