man... trend is probably the worst thing known to man, well thats kind of a lie, under XP it was really solid.. nothing special but did the job, but as soon as vista dropped and i upgraded - gave me bluescreen errors and i was tearing my hair out for weeks tryna figure out what it was
in reply to mr_rolls question... i use avast! antivirus, which is great so far (only been using it a month or so)
Active Virus Shield which is basically kapersky 6 just rebranded. Damn good.
Active Virus Shield here too, available free, or AVG which is free too.

AVS is the best free one on the market... however the noticable problem is that it doesnt scan active web content before it gets onto your PC .... then it will.
I use both Kaspersky Internet Security and Bitdefender Antivirus Plus at work and they both work well (Kaspersky is my favourite).
Aria are selling Kaspersky AV for about about £8 for a year. Thats not bad value.
Ebuyer were selling Bitdefender for about the same if not less for 2 PCs for 2 years.... I got loads of them :D
I steer clear of Norton (satans gusset stains) like its a woman with the clap.... just no. Mcafee canbe gotten from Aria cheaply too but I loathe that god awful Verify crap that always pops up.

AVG here
For paid for antivirus, ive yet to find anything that outperforms NOD32. Its a bloody amazing program that.
I use F-Prot at home because a few years ago it was the cheapest way to protect 4 machines under one roof.
Nowdays I recommend the free home version of Avast.

Nutha vote for Avast, been using it for over 2 years.
Avast is ace ... have it installed on my media center; it does an auto update and when it says "your virus software has been updated" have to remember to turn the speakers down, had it pretty loud the other week as was watching finale of Lost .... scary stuff!!! Software is very good though!!!
AVG free here
Common sense, and Ive never really had an issue with viruses.
Seriously though, Ive had good experiences with NOD32 in the past, definitely recommended.
Erm- shouldnt you be asking about ANTI virus software? ;-p In any way, Im using Norton AV. It gets the job done and runs pretty reliable on my machine.
Another vote for BitDefender. Not sure if its the standard package but the one im running does spyware, firewall and anti-virus.
Nice an unobtrusive once its set up and so far (6 months-ish) has done the job.
I currently have norton 360. Very nice piece of software, if you like all-in-one stuff (I do;)).
I have run Bitdefender and NOD32 and am now trying Avira
on one machine. Bitdefender is fine but a bit annoying sometimes, NOD32 has always been good and give no hassels, Avira has so far been fine but I have only used it less than a month yet so it is hard to tell.
Symantec Antivirus
Autoupdates, unobtrusive. Doesnt ask you every 5 seconds what it should do.
I hate McAfee Secuity Centre with a passion.
