I use Avast.
I used to like it a lot, but the latest version (update) introduced too many offers and services I am not interested in (WTH is Webrep??) and it even spammed me once through a pop up alert (If it does it again, it's gone!!)

I used Norton 5 years ago and was the best thing around but it was a resourse hog and got bloated more and more with each new version. I now use ESET, with zone alarm firewall. And a free copy of Spybot. In my opinion these are a great combo..

Avast Free. No issues with it ever and it found infected files Norton ignored.
Along with Malwarebytes. Not had any nasties in years! If I was going to pay for one, it would be ESET NOD32. The rest are all too commercialized and don't live up to the hype. ![[Image: watched-fanart.jpg]](http://trakt.tv/user/DejaVu/widget/watched-fanart.jpg) Maraschino - Web based HTPC Organiser.

MSE and as Jezz said - common sense... dont surf porno, skank stuff and execute junk software on your HTPC!
Does make me laugh when people still waffle on about blue screens and vulnerable windows... I cant remember the last time I had ether.... cars used to have drum brakes and cross-ply tyres but things improve. my Linux and Hack are just as much a pain in their own ways. |

Avast free edition, when running a media computer you want a small footprint for the antivirus, Avast has been great.
