I don't have Norton or anything and tbh I don't like Norton anyways.

But what can I use for protection? free stuff would be nice.

Atm I currently have this for my setup:

AVG
Windows Defender
Spybot
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware - This doesn't spot anything incoming, but if you run it now and then it can sort out anything if you're infected.

Just having that seems to keep my computer clean

AVG has become useless imho.

I have been changing clients to Microsoft Security Essentails for free, and Spyware Doctor with AV for paid.

Both have great reviews.

For computers already infected, i use Combofix, and Malwarebytes.

I use Comodo. It's free and comes with a firewall that stops so much crap that it angers me sometimes. http://www.comodo.com/
Avast is also good. http://www.avast.com/
Threatfire is a good program as well, but it is designed to back up your current antivirus. It's a shame that I can't use it anymore. It worked well until I started getting kicked by punkbuster and their gay little errors and tickets. http://www.threatfire.com/

I use exactly what storm uses. Haven't had a virus in a long time.

I used to use Trend Micro on my old computer, decided to get the newer version on my new computer, it's kinda confusing, it turns off randomly, and when it's done a scan and see like a virus, it doesn't tell you whether it got rid of it or you have to get rid of it yourself, I don't really recommend Trend Micro >_>

For windows 7 I just use windows security essentials since it's free and it's one of the top rated anti virus. It also uses very little resources and it's free. Before I got that I used pandacloud anti virus. I really don't need an antivirus though.

Microsoft security essentials = win.

That's windows defender. Windows Security Essentials is a new one.

I have Avast and I'm fine with it. I also use Malwarebytes Anti-Malware once in a while to delete those infected files. I see a lot of people use AVG but I have no idea how well it works. I've used Kapersky in the past and definitely recommend it.
