Both Nortorn and MCafee suck. I use NOD32 mainly because of its extremely fast scanning time.

. plus it still has auto updates all the time and stuff.

AVG because it works and best of all it is free!
AVAST on the 64 bit systems because AVG is not available for 64 bit yet.

NOD32
I also use AVG on my other PC. NOD32 is a little better at finding new variants than avg is.

Another happy Kaspersky "Personal 5.0" user here. I must say, I go to some pretty "Shady" sites sometimes 
, and Norton would always allow stuff to infect my system. With Kaspersky, I'm virus and spyware free since I got rid of Norton Professional 2004 (it's a POS IMO).
$34.95 for the year's worth of Kaspersky updates (Updates happen 2-4 times A DAY!!!), and Free Spybot S&D along with Free Spyware Blaster and Free Windows SP2 firewall have proven themselves to me over and over again. My PC is still alive in 2005! (Rhymes). So much better than Norton IMO...

I use AVG free edition. It's free and it has killed every virus and trojan that I have ever had.

Been using norton forever. Recently I have been using Norton SystemWorks because of all the extra utilities like Speed Disk and WinDoctor. Norton also seems to be good about keeping up with current virus information. It is a performance hog, but my machine has no problems and i always turn it off when gaming.

While I don't used antivirus software, I have my Dad's machine running AVG. It seems to work great, but I like Trend Micro's PC-Cillian better. Sadly, my copy doesn't support Windows XP

I use quick heal antivirus software i found it years ago by looking for free one. When norten did not find a virus that i had in rig it found it. I did not use any for about 1 year and my rig started to slow down from spyware and a virus so purshused quick heal again. Another rig i was working on was running slow and it norton on it so i took out HDD and put it in my big rig. ran quick heal and it found 4 diffrent viruses and some spyware on them so i still like it.
