Another MSE user here.I also have Malwarebytes and Superantispyware free which i use as and when.

Sophos on the windows clients at work, though we use something else on the servers just in case.

AVG paid version on the windows machines at home. works ok, even on this poxy clapped out steam powered netbook

Whatever comes free with you ISP, eg; Norton with BT. I favour Kaspersky, but I ain't buying it while I've got a free one even if it is a bit clunky. Download Trusteer also for extra protection on sensitive sites.

No good unless the internet is running slowly.

Been using AVG for yonks and it has been pretty good. But after reading this thread and checking a few reviews decided to give MSE a go. Been on it a few days, it certainly seems less obtrusive than AVG.

I had Kaspersky Internet Security 2012. I kept getting blue screen of death, and the error codes led to Kaspersky. In the end I uninstalled it and installed MSE a couple of months ago. Since then I have had no problems, no blue screens and this little laptop is a lot faster.

Hmmm,

I found AVG got a bit bloaty, then switched to Avast, but that's bloated a bit. MSE worth a try ?

AVG/Avast and ZoneAlarm for a firewall. Oh and any browser other than IE

MSE with occasional Malwarebytes scans if I suspect anything has got through...never has.

 

[numbnuts]

Another Avast

I would recommend MSE.It's simple to install,it updates automatically via windows update and it doesn't hog CPU either,it just does it's stuff in the background.

Another ESET user here, used it for the last 2 years, just sits in the background doing it's thing, and certainly doesn't sap anything
