I have been using Kaspresky Internet Security 6.0, for about a month now and it’s great. I love the interface , the way you are only told the important stuff ( If you didn’t choose the advanced or interactive mode or what ever it is called during the setup phase.) and the footprint is very small you are hardly ever aware of any activity from it’s side. Scanning is very efficient ( it did take about 13 hours to scan my entire drive, but I have a 250Gb drive in this pc which is at about 90% capacity!) Some times, some “Threats†get identified which are not threats at all ( ala USA 
), for example my dev cpp uses make.exe and every single time i build a project ( which happens allot! ) I get the most annoying screech sound and a pop up telling me that there is a new rootkit threat!
Auto updates are great, but it has become standard on even the free virus scanners. The Firewall is very solid! It detects specific intuitions and neutralizes them, (the other day some sod tried to exploit my, mysql! got his IP and will maybe do some sniffing, {Insert evil laugh here} ) I also use the Nvidia firewall integrated with my N-force 4 chipset. Kaspersky and NVgaurd plays nicely together, like all good boys should.
For only $59.95 a year its definitely a good investment!
PS: Choose the novice user option in the setup process! Do it! You have been warned!
