I just use Microsoft Security Essentials.... its kind of minimal protection but TBH I have come to terms with having that risk be present rather than drowning my machine in Mcafee or Norton.... they always seem to present me with more problems than they solve.... very much like the TSA IMO... big heavy cumbersome mechanism which theoretically protects you from major threats which you never really see.
I payed for anti-virus for a few years and then realized I never found a case where something tried to get in and it protected me, it caused me headaches in the course of using it, and in the end Malware would get in via torrents sometimes and anti-virus never caught it nor would anti-virus scans catch anything, I always had to go get other anti-malware tools to scan, find, and kill/remove the malware....
So in the end I opt for letting everything through the gate essentially and I just have a tactical team in the terminal which hunts down and kills any crazies that might get in.... if someone decides to nuke me the TSA quite likely would not have helped a whole lot anyways.
EDIT: Btw Crystallas may have a very different opinion.... he probably sits behind like 3 firewalls
