I've been using McAfee for years till I realized how much it made my Pentium 3.2 Ghz feel like a 486DX4-100.... and how it made my core2duo 2Ghz feel like a Pentium 1.5Ghz.

-grrrr-

Switched to Norton 360 and Spybot. Things have been VERY zippy since then.

I'm mainly using Zone Alarm (Free) and NOD32.

I've been using NOD32 for years now, very good indeed, doesn't use much resource and works very well!

I've used ESET Nod32 antivirus for a long time. It doesn't use much memory and I only see it when/if it discovers a virus or similar threat ie. malware, trojan etc.

I can highly recommend it.

As a firewall I use Comodo Firewall. The recently launched version 3 now supports Vista as well. It's a free firewall and comes very recommended.

I'm surprised to see so many people (so far) using Avast. Is it any good? I'm considering purchasing the Windows Home Server version.

I've got a dual boot laptop with WinXP and Ubuntu 7.10.

I use the Ubuntu for all my general internet access related daily activity, don't need Anti-spyware, anti-virus, etc..

For the WinXp though I do use the following:
Firewall: Zone Alarm Firewall (FREE)
Anti-Virus: Avast Antivirus Home Edition (FREE)
Anti-Spyware: Ad-Aware SE Personal, Spyware Blaster, Spybot Search & Destroy (ALL FREE)
Cleaner: CCleaner (FREE)
Browser: Firefox with extensions NoScript and Adblock Plus
