What’s Your Favorite Antivirus Tool? [Reader Poll]

Although Windows 7 is considered to be much more secure than its predecessors, an antivirus tool is still a necessity for your system.

    I’m a huge fan of Microsoft’s Security Essentials. It seems to have a very low impact on system performance and many of my friends who I have recommended it to (some of which are less than technologically inclined) have seen it catch threats quickly and prevent problems.

      I have to agree with you. Microsoft Security Essentials works exactly the way an antivirus should work.
