I'm using AVG for my Virus Protection paired up with Comodo Firewall and I haven't had any intrusions this far. Also, AVG has a very simple interface so its easy to use. My only complaint is the ammount of Memory the scans take up to run, I have to pause the scans in order to use the computer.

Just wanted to post a general comment here. I am still a bit worreid about which antivirus to choose. As I expected ZoneAlarm rated well, they have what I consider to be the best firewall, and that I have been using for quite some time now, without a single disappointment, although I wouldn’t recommend the free edition… Maybe the ZoneAlarm Firewall + Antispyware, but I just use it as a firewall. It’s anti-spyware feature didn’t really impress me, and the anti-virus, nothing at all….

We had been obsessed with Norton for a long time here, and it was quite uncommon when we got on topic and said I didn’t use any of Norton’s products. I am growing to hate their stuff. Sorry! I mean, recently I installed the 2007 version just to see how it works, and was entirely disappointed that it didn’t find a single thing ,even though Windows had failed too boot up properly due to virus (and had to initialise safe-mood and a lot of stuff). Moreover, what upsets me more is that Symantec has taken over a great program of HD partitioning (PartionMagic) and was disappointed to see that they no longer provided any updates, barely cared to change the date and brand information…

AVG was fine but had some false positives, together with Avast, but I am happy with Avast. I didn’t quite like NOD32 due to certain features such as the always-on feature of scanning files, it’s not much system-consuming but it is… but I was really impressed with it’s heuristic techniques, totally awesome.

One last thing (this is getting too much haha) I would never ever recommend using two anti-viruses simultaneously on the computer. A firewall and different brand anti-virus and different brand anti-spyware / adware is acceptable, but not two of the same… I have my reasons why ( got tired of writing everything up lol).
