Nod32 on Win7 desktop
Kaspersky IS on Win8.1 laptop
 
I'm trying ESET Smart Security 7, and I like it. It's lighter than Comodo Internet Security, and it has a great antivirus database. I really like the fact that is detecting and removing PUP's.
 
GDATA 2014 Internet security All components on (except for its email and spam protection)

As needed Malwarebytes Real time
Regular on demand scans with Emsisoft Emergency Kit
 
PC Tools is "Threatfire". It is abandonware, but I have it tweaked to the gills. I injected it pretty heavily.
I used to use Dr. Web CureIt on-demand, but now i simply use HitMan Pro. I also now use WSA.

Whats WSA? also Can u PM me how u tweaked PC Tools i might go with it. How do u tweak antivruse's never know u could

WSA = Webroot Secure Anywhere

Avira was good when tweaked when I used it. CIS is maybe a bit better, which requires tweaking as well. Both are flexible, but CIS more so.
The free version Avira I use has absolutely no "tweakability". It may be a similar experience to buying discounted fireworks late on the 4th of July. Maybe we just get what we pay for. I can't complain that I've picked a Dud since it's free!;) It does have (3) buttons. (1) for "Scan Sytem", another to "Start update", and a very special (1) with the word "Upgrade" I just tried for the very first time! Pushing this button felt dangerous:eek: & FUN like something out of "Alice in Wonderland" IE: "Drink me!" or :rolleyes: "Eat me!", lol! :p Here's what we find "going down the rabbit hole": "Stronger antivirus, protection for tablets and smartphones as well as 5GB of online storage. (..& another button!!) "Upgrade to Avira Antivirus Suite $44.99". o_O I think I'll wake up now.:D *ooh,:confused: actually (after reading Umbra Polaris' comment) I'd found the "tweaking" rabbit hole. (..just had to look to find the engine's hood!)
