I just switched to avast! and I am loving it.
I have seen some folks complaining about
the mediaplayer-like interface, but I like it.
I read about false positives too, and decided
this was likely the best free-ware way to go.
I may upgrade and pay for the pro version, but
it hardly seems necessary? If I wanted to pay
I would also consider G-Data Internet Security.
Here is the page that convinced me to switch...
(That and the fact that what I had failed me.)

I am also using SUPER Anti Spyware, Comodo Firewall,
and MalwareBytes Anti- Malware; as per rshaffer61's
suggestion. I am very happy with these so far. Cheers.

I'm using:
Panda Cloud Antivirus
MBAM
Spywareblaster
Script Defender
For other active protection, you can try:
S&D search and destroy (spybot)
It has a "teatimer" protection feature
Guard tools like Winpatrol eg.
Though I am only using the ones in bold.

Never have more then one real time AV running. This can cause false positive readings and will slow your system down.

I do not know if you are referring to my post, but you are absolutely right

Tea Timer has been shown to slow a system down and in most cases we have it uninstalled.
The big name AV's are system resource hogs and also will cause a slow down. The free programs are smaller and do just as good and in most cases better.
Avast I know since this is what I use updates almost everyday and IMHO is the best I have used.

Indeed, from personal experience I also know the teatimer slows down your system.
I have tried the Winpatrol though and does not seem to slow your system down that much.
I also think Avast is one of the best free Antivirus solutions out there.

I am using Avira. I did not like the Avast interface.
I have spywareguard on 1 computer (not sure I like it)(Doesn't seem to be any updates).
I have spyware blaster on the other computer.
I use zone alarm firewall.
I use MBAM on both comps.
I have found winpatrol to be program.
I also use spamfighter for my OE emails.
