You can avoid viruses easy just with a bit of common sense - I haven't had a virus in over a year and haven't used an anti virus/anti malware whatever else is out there, just keep clear of untrusted sites.
Indeed, and now that Firefox 3 has sites it automatically blocks for you, surfing without fear of catching something is more guaranteed.  Depends though, if you enjoy going on crazy browsing surf sessions, an AntiVirus is a smart choice, if you only visit a handful of trusted websites, you'll be fine.

I use Symantec AntiVirus, (the business/enterprise version of Norton), it's small, doesn't hog my resources, and lets me play BF2 without any problems.

I use Avast! myself, and it's been good to me over the years I've used it.

No Firewall with it, though
Word up. AVAST is PRETTY good (and its free which also a good thing ). Drop Nortons like a bad prom date. Its crap and will eat every resource ur PC has (and slows down XP/Vista startup to boot).

The best antivirus is in your head, and is called "common sense".
But if you are regularly downloading GB of pirated material it's good to have an AV. Even though RS uploads don't often have viruses, it's good to make sure.

I use AVG free 8.0 and windows firewall.

I have a router/modem already.  Is there a hardware firewall in that?
