if you don't download and run anything from any source, you actually don't need an antivirus at all. can't be cheaper than that...
a firewall has been enough for me for the last 6-7 years?
and if you want to download untrusted things, install on a virtual machine...
anyways, in my opinion, kaspersky and norton take way too much resources for not doing such a great job...
i find the free version of AVG WAY better than norton...

one rule you should know : get an original one.
i've been using norton internet security for 2 years now and i only got infected once buy a big virus. personaly before i got this security pro i used to like format my pc one a month cause it was full of shitty stuff everytime i used to scan it i got like 3000 infection or more; you know shitty website :p
now the norton is good not only that he is light i can even put it on my acer one.
go to norton website and buy the internet security version for 50$ for a year. you can use it on 3 pcs .
their technical support is awesome too. any problem you have you can mail or request a live chat, ...

imagine i wanted COD4 original but i couldn't find. shame on leb

I Guess I'm Okay with the OS liscence. But purchasing a license for an antivirus. Hell no.
You can always find a trial reset tool.

Norton and Kaspersky are much too heavy on the system for my liking.
At work we had NOD32 and it was excellent. When the licence ran out they installed Kaspersky: I can't stand it. The daily scan slows my system to a halt.
On my personal machines I use the free version of AVG. It used to be good, but I feel that the latest version has become sort of dumb. I'm fairly sure my system is infected by some memory stick worm that slipped past AVG.

AVG internet security (got it off bittorrent)

seriously whats wrong with antiviruses ? i NEVER used one.
The only way to get infected is to download some stupid softwares ( EMAIL HAXER ) from youtube.
And usb spreading, But you guys should get sandboxie, really its worth a shot, its really better then any antivirus.

Antivirus = Noobs :D

When it comes to antivirus software, people are subjective. Not only that, they get so defensive over them as if they have coded the software themselves. It's whatever works for you apparently. If someone's in love with NOD32, there is no chance in hell you could turn his mind around. Anyhow, there is one antivirus that tops all you've listed, and it's not what we think or you think, it's the Redhat 's seasonal tournaments that decide that. Do your digging, find out which anitivirus tops all, and manages to capture newly released viruses even without updates sometimes.
