I've got ZoneAlarm as my firewall & anti-virus (it uses the Kaspersky engine) and it's excellent.

In terms of malware detection, Avast placed near the bottom of the pack, identifying and removing just 70% of malware overall. In our email tests, it identified a further 4% of malware, but was for some reason unable to remove the infected attachments.

Avast doesn't seem to have a good rep now. This is from pcpro magazine...

However even the free version is not as good as AVG Pro. This is reasonably priced and can be purchased in South Manchester for a tenner to blues (six grand to red twats).
NOD32 & Avast are okay, not my first choice. Free spyware protection; Windows Defender (has realtime protection). Spybot (the original and still the best), doesn't have real time protection but does have Tea Timer (kind of real time registry protection but is a pain in the arse imo). Latest versions of Ad-aware are shite so dont bother.
Thing to remeber; you can have the best virus protection in the whole fucking world but if you are torrenting or shit like that then you're gonna get virused up. Think of it like taking a stroll down the Reeperahn (Hamburg shag alley) , then shagging anything that moves without a condom then wondering why you catch aids. You have been warned.
