AVG.

Awesome, light, and free.

AVG is always my second choice. Happy user for many years and it's great.

However, the best kept secret in Windows AV is Microsoft Security Essentials

Written by Microsoft, it's fast and efficient, I can only imagine they don't promote it as a courtesy to existing AV developers.

MSE all the way, light and free, also integrates with windows efficiently

AVG is excellent for both home and business. Shall be looking at MSE though.

AVAST for me with a weekly scan with Malware-Bytes...

Come to think of I dont use any ms/windows products to keep my system running. Ccleaner, defraggler and a few others

Not sure I would trust M$ to produce a good Anti Virus product. They can't even patch there own server software or IE with any speed at all. So I can't see their AV product being at the top of any reviews. I have used the product before on my virtual Win7 that I run on my iMac worked OK. I also used AVG again that was fine but annoying pop ups.

Seems that M$ product is not that good
