    although i use on-demand scanners only i voted none.

    there was no mention of on-demand scanners in the list, like HMP, MBAM or VirusTotal, so i assume the author of the thread was talking about real-time AVs only.

    I have licenses for Avira, G-Data and now trialing F-Secure, all of them are just standalone antivirus packages.

    Stopped momentarily using Avira because it's not ready for Windows 8 yet and therefore I'm trialing F-Secure which I like it a lot, planning to purchase a subscription when my trial runs out.

    I still, however, keep recommending Avira for my relatives, friends and colleagues that use Windows 7 and below. I'm their only "tech guy" ;)

    Comodo Internet Security on my main computer, although thinking of changing because it gets in the way a bit too much.

    MSE / Windows Firewall Control on slower machines because that combo is light and hassle free.

    I have changed my AV from None to Nada,
    and will soon try Zero and Zip,
    as I hear they have no impact on system resources.
    Old Xp is as quick as the day it came out of the box. :D
