i use avast by alwil, itz free ( http://www.avast.com/index.html ).

i just wanted to know what antivirus you guys use, cuz avast is wierd and the look of it is kind a like a media player.

NOD32, recently switched to it after all the positive reviews and after research. I must say it is a great anti virus

Oh damn. I just realized that I don't have an anti-virus yet after reformatting my computer.
Guess I'm using Vista's Windows Defender to keep me safe?

AVG for me, just cause of its low resource usage. Anything 'dodgey' that I'm doing that requires a proper anti-virus I go onto my desktop and use avast.

avg. works well.

i had some nasty shit on my pc, with my general pc knowledge and avgs help i was able to eliminate them. i totally trust avg. if im really super paranloid i just use several online scanners to scan files, like when dling a pserver and things like that.

-Symantec Corporate Edition ( very good virus protector and finder )
-SUPERAntiSpyware ( good for finding tracking cookies i find )

EDIT: you anti-virus looks weird?? i am pretty sure thats the "Vista" style, my norton360 2007 edition is like that too ( DON'T USE )
