I prefer avast over avg. Also free.

Nod32 if you want to pay/pirate

Yeah, flip a coin between the free versions of AVG or Avast. I think they're the biggest players with free versions.

comodo is also good but a tid bit agressive i think.

if you keep your windows and browser up to date, don't run strange executables or click strange links, and read email in plain text . . . you're pretty much completely safe. but it'd still be a good idea to use a trustworthy online virus scan every few months.

This, if you're behind a firewall and you don't use Adobe Reader.

I haven't had a virus scan since years. Like since my UT days.

If you're running "validated" I'm quite fond of Microsoft Security Essentials.
Admittedly it's like holding hands with Satan himself, but it works, is free, and has a surprisingly good catch rate.
I myself refuse to use safe surfing practices.
