Norton for me. BT (my old employer) uses it so it's good enough for me, never had any problems.

To be fair, for most users pretty much all the main AV products will do the job fine and the differences detected between them in the tests (even independent tests) are pretty much meaningless.

The most important things are regular updates of the definitions any of them use (at least daily) and by far the main factor in securing any system is not any software at all, it's the user!... no matter how good your AV is if you click "yes" without thinking you will get infected.

I had one computer (online daily) that I used without any security software at all. It was three and a half years before it picked up anything nasty - and I fixed that within 10 minutes!

While I do now have MSE on my PC, laptop and netbook, I still disable automatic updates from Microsoft.

BTW, am I then only one who laughed on reading Hopkirk's post: "Microsoft should know what they are doing"?
