I used to use McAfee and before that I used Norton. I'd say McAfee, but with all the extra features turned off, so It's simple virus protection.
Right now though, I use Common Sense 2.0.

At the moment I use Microsoft Anti-Spyware, it does teh trick for me. Only I don't download or run P2P programs, so I hardly get anything serious.

For me, there is no best. As long as they have flaws, they won't be the best for me.
I tend to use a mixture of them now to get the job done.

MS anty-spyware isn't an anti-virus...
I use AntiVir XP, it's free and works very well, had no problems with it.
