What AV are you using !?

[Suspekt]

Hello there !

I'm kinda curious what antivirus are you using on windows 7 (x64 preferably ).I tried MSSE but i keep getting some random big CPU usage by MsmpEng.exe from 5 to 5 minutes.I tried ESET Nod32 v4 but i really can't decide what AV to use still...so i want to see witch AV are you using,and maybe give a few tips so i can make a decision.
I'm only interested in Anti Virus'es not the whole packaged ( with firewall and stuff ).
Thanks.

MSE for me. No problems noticed on my 64-bit installs.

I use MSE as well without any issues. However, if you're seeking an alternative I highly recommend Avast above any of the other free ones.

An antivirus many don't like...

I have been using Norton Internet Security since Jan 2008 and now am on version 2010. I have always been satisfied with it's performance and have never had a problem. CPU usage is low and works completely in the background.

Did you use the 64-bit Windows 7 version of Microsoft Security Essentials? I don't have any problems with it, and I've been using it, since it's first official release.

Yet another "which is best" thread. Gotta love it.

It does serve the purpose of getting a series of comments going on which (of the near equals) is preferred, so no flag, no foul.

I'm a bit paranoid, and go to some dodgy sites for research in security so I use the following:

MSE
IOBit 360
WinPatrol (to tell me when something tries to install an ActiveX control or startup)
Malwarebytes - weekly or more often scanning
Windows 7 Firewall Control - to tell me when something tries to phone home.
COMODO DNS servers.

All of the above are on my main x64 system, the same on my x32 system, with the exception of COMODO as a firewall. (I use different solutions to see what works best in the environment, and like the 32 bit version of COMODO.)

Avira and Malwarebytes, and I have SUPER Antispyware on the side to restore user permissions if necessary.
