None. I clear out my tracks after each session. All these spyware and viruses are just there to take up space and hog my resources. I do have zonealarm for sheds and giggles.
 
Symantec Norton Antivirus/Internet Security for sooo many years and I recently switched to CA EZ Antivirus because its lighter/less resource hog.

Spybot and Ad-aware.

Windows XP built-in firewall.
 
Just Kaspersky 6...never really had any problems with spyware...

As a side note, I was pleasantly surprised to see the multiple user Kaspersky I bought from Newegg for like $20 awhile back was eligible for a FREE upgrade to Kaspersky 6...try that with the Norton crap.
 
AVG Free ftw

Spybot
Adaware
Windows Defender
Spyware Doctor
Spywareblaster
Webroot Spysweeper
(not all of those at once. they're all installed tho)

Horrible detection rates FTL 😱

I use Kaspersky AV v6, Spy Sweeper v5, Spyware Blaster, and a NAT router on my 3 systems at home. Kaspersky is running but I disable real-time protection on all modules. I launch Spy Sweeper manually for scans once in a while and do not allow it to run in the background.
 
Bitdefender 9 Pro Plus(built-in AV/Firewall,Anti-spyware) with Ad-Aware,SpywareBlaster,Spybot and Netgear router.
 
SAV Corp Edition and SAV V10 (home). Also have Windows Defender beta 2 (home). Work lappie only also runs Cisco Security Agent.
 
Laptop
Anti Vir
CCleaner
Adware SE
Spybot

Desktop
Norton AV 2006
Windows Defender
Adware SE
ZoneAlarm Pro Suite
Spybot
CCleaner
 
On this system:

Kaspersky 6
Windows Defender
Zone Alarm

On System #2

Viruscan 10
Windows Defender
Zone Alarm Pro

On Laptop:

AVG
Windows Defender
Zone Alarm Pro

On all systems as a monthly sweep/check - SpySweeper. So far it finds nothing - WinDefender does a good job of prevention.

All these are a second tier. 1st Iier AV and Anti-Spam is provided by my ISP using Nationwide, using Can-It. These are all like the Maytag repairman - nothing ever gets through the ISP tier.

This would have made a good poll.
