I also use Malwarebytes and Comodo.

After looking at the poll results, I'm gonna give Kaspersky a try

I'm using a good adblocker, to block most things that might harm. i'm not against extra software but as a quite expierenced user i know what to do and what i shoulden't be doing

This is how to do it, a normal user shouldnt get virus's unless they clicked something they shouldnt and an adblocker and no script plugin will save you from all that. that being said having a virus scanner installed even if its disabled on your computer is always good just in case.

fail all that ...

Use Linux and your brain, you won't need a anti-virus.

EDIT: my fav virus scanner for windows is clamwin its opensource and doesnt run in the background collecting your data ;]

My Preference is Avast and Kaspersky

I am currently using Eset Internet Security.
Started using as my last AV was using to much CPU and I found Eset wasn't at the time.

In my opinion Symantec Endpoint Protection.
I am using SEP from several years. It is free as well as complete protection

Microsoft Security Essentials , or no anti-virus at all.
Sophisticated AV slows down the performance and breaks functionality sometimes. The 0-day viruses are not detected by AV anyway. So I don't think there is much benefit to have sophisticated AV installed other than the very basic to perform a scan on some files you think are suspicious.

The best AV is yourself - Don't expose yourself to the threat. (avoid unsafe sites and files)

Switched from Kaspersky to Bitdefender a few months ago, couldn't be happier with that decision

I tried Avast, Kaspersky, McAfee and Bitdefender.
Bitdefender is by far my favorite!
