I also use AVG for AV, and I run the above and also CCleaner full name = Crap Cleaner to do 'housework'...

ClamWin for offline anti-virus scanning.

Free Antivirus for Windows - Open source GPL virus scanner

SpywareBlaster to set blocks against most mainstream malware. It is not a resident app. It inserts blocks into the registry, config files, etc.

SpywareBlaster® | Prevent spyware and malware. Free download.

SpyBot S&D for offline scanning, plus the immunize feature that works like SpywareBlaster.

The home of Spybot-S&D!

Malwarebytes for offline scaning, though I rarely use it.

Malwarebytes.org

CCleaner to clean up various caches and temp files.

CCleaner - Home

TweakNow RegCleaner to clean up the registry and leftover browser tracking tidbits.

Reg Cleaners for Windows, Disk Cleaning Product, Windows XP x64 System Cleaner

None, for somewhere around 1 1/2 - 2 years now.

Point?

There is not much reason to not have some form of basic anti-virus/malware installed on a Windows box. For example, I rarely use ClamWin for much more than an occasional memory scan, but I keep it installed anyway. Might as well. It is not memory resident and only takes a little hard drive space.

Admittedly, I currently have no a/v protection on my primary desktop, though Debian running on an Itanium 2 workstation is not exactly a high-profile target vector.

I used to use panda internet security since 2006 but stopped as it was not compatable with windows 7 (this was about 6 months ago so they may have updated it).

I never had any problems.
