For my personal computer I use Microsoft Security Essentials / Windows Defender. My biggest threat is when my kid is using my computer and playing on some flash game websites, so all my user accounts are currently non-administrators which atleast might mitigate some attempts.

However, at work it's a different picture. We have 300 "lusers" and everyone are eager to click on the newest malware on the block with no thought of consequences.

We've tried several AV products and right now we're using BitDefender which seems to get the work done for the most parts. First time we ran it, It found our (IT dep) 10 year old Red Alert 2 .exe crack so that was quite amusing. It also has few false positives and hardly ever makes itself noticeable in resource monitor.
