So what's the best antivirus to download? (3 Viewers)

I've been running Microsoft Security Essentials for a while now and have found it to be more than adequate. It is also reasonably light on system resources and noninvasive.
I then use Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and run it every week or so just to make sure I haven't been infected with anything that MSE has missed. (Found nothing so far)
Before I started using MSE I was using Comodo Internet Security but found it too intrusive so now only use it as a firewall.

The best anti-virus? MalwareBytes hand's down.
The best anit-malware suite? Kaspersky hand's down.

Sophos I'll agree is a reasonably good Anti-Virus.
Norton can go die in a fire.
Malware Bytes isn't a virus scanner, it's a malware scanner... I personally use it one or twice a week and it's pretty reliable, but then again I'm not an idiot on the Internet. My common sense is my main anti-virus followed by Comodo.

My computer currently has Avast Antivirus v5 and PC Tools Threatfire. I still have yet to get a virus infection.
Avast has always been my favourite, especially with the new interface. Anything it misses is picked up by Threatfire which is specially made to work with Antivirus programs. Also, Threatfire is not signature based detection, it is behaviour based, so any program that looks like it has malicious intent is blocked and it prompts the user as to allow or deny.
You could also add a firewall (such as ZoneAlarm) but since my new router has a firewall built in, I haven't bothered.

Antivirus 2009 is the best.

It surprises me that some people run dual antivirus simultaneously. Surely that can't be good considering they are both scanning/fighting for the same level of access rights/privileges.
Anyway my vote still goes to Avast.
