I know this is not a popular comment, but here goes. If you use a good operating system ie read "not microsft", you really don't need to be concerned about A/V software. I have been using Linux Ubuntu here for several years with no problems such as malware or viruses. If your going to stay with Windows, you should get as much protection as you can as you will surely need it.:B

nonsense. Linux and Apple are not immune to viruses and the like. they simply don't have the market share to attract attention.

Wrong again. Yes both Apple and Linux are just much better written than Windows. It is therefore much harder to penetrate the system. Also I have seen times when it took weeks and even months for Microsoft to fix a vulnerability while if a problem arises with Linux a fix will usually be sent out in a matter of hours. But let's just say for the case of argument that the reason for not having problems is only because of the smaller base, wouldn't it still be wise to change???
