I've tried heaps of different ones over the years and am currently using ZoneAlarm. It's heaps good. Whenever I download something which has a virus it pops up and informs me of it immediately and then proceeds to delete it.

I recently download like 8 trojans, what the fuck is this?

I've been using a combination of AVG (currently 8.5) + Sygate Firewall and have never had a problem.

I use zonealarm as well, it is good, but it makes the computer go all slow when its does those routine scans....
