What AV software do you use?

I'm trying to evaluate what is the best bang for my buck, free is even better.

Been using the new Windows AV with Win7. Seems to be doing a good job so far.

AVG. Been using it for years and it has done well. Has done a better job than McAfee (what a joke) or Norton in general in my experience. Can't complain for the price either.

Kaspersky is the best anti-virus ever :)

I used Comodo, but now Microsoft Security Essentials is defending my Win 7 system.

Microsoft security essentials (MSE) isn't as low profile as ESET or Avira, but doesn't matter if you have a fast system.
Best free would be Avira but MSE has antispy too.

On one rig I use MSE and the other Avira.

However I also use Spyware Doctor free starter edition to catch all those tracking cookies that aren't picked up by MSE.

I used to be a big fan of nod32 but I get mcafee enterprise free through my university and free is good :)

ESET NOD32, tried all other popular ones but this wins easily for me.

I'm using Trend Micro antivirus, got it for free at work, so might as well use it.
I'm actually quite happy with it!

MS Security Essentials.

What firewall would you guys recommend? ^^ Also which Anti-Virus is the most low-profile and best to use for really slow systems such as Intel Atom based etc.?

No offense, but if you ever switch to a good AV like Kaspersky, it will find lots of malware, spyware, and viruses that AVG has been missing. I know quite a few people that made the switch from AVG to Kaspersky and were amazed at what they didn't realize AVG was allowing to get through.

Try Outpost, provides good security. If you really need extra protection that is.
