Avast has been my product of choice for the last two years. I have no complaints about how well this software works. I do hate that it needs to be registered. That's a PITA.

MS Security Essentials is one that I'm starting to roll out for more people. It seems to be working really well so far.

None of the above is great at catching malware.

Stay away from Symantec, McAfee and AVG this year. Next year, all bets are off and the process of "who has the best" starts all over again.

MS Security Essentials - Windows Firewall

Why because it's easy and free and my windows is only on to cut shit and to remote into work. Besides that, OSX fucking owns.
