So, what antivirus do you use?
just curious... I've been through a few... kaspersky seemed to be promising until I noticed it was constantly scanning 24/7! slowing me down, so then I got lazy as we all do and went good 'ole avg, and remained too lazy to scan till this day (yeah I'm a daredevil, the ladies think I'm badass) Intend on buying a new pc soon, so will make an effort this time round. Anyways yeah as title states, what antivirus you rolling?

Eset NOD32, for the past 6 or 7 years. Extremely small footprint, and rates near the top in most testing quarter after quarter.

I just use the free edition of AVG. Works for me, never had a virus.

when I feel like actually BUYING antivirus I get Kaspersky because is best. AVG works if you don't do anything stupid like watch that Hugo.exe movie.

Re: So, what antivirus do you use?
I used to use AVG free, but it got bloated and started giving me false positives. Switched to Nod32 as a paid option, which was great. Once my license for Nod32 ran out switched to Microsoft Security Essentials. And I throw in a Malwarebytes scan every once and a while for good measure. I've only managed to get a virus once. I forget what it was called, but I got it during the early years of Windows XP. You were fine as long as the Windows firewall was on. I turned it off for like an hour when surfing the net on dial-up while testing something. Of course the best antivirus/antimalware is being smart about your behavior.
