So I've been using Trend Micro's PC-Cillin for the last few years and am now feeling somewhat dissatisfied with it. Is anyone knowledgeable about the strengths and downsides to the current options on the market?

For something completely non-invasive, resource-saving and free: Microsoft Security Essentials.
Used AVG's free basic services for years and years now.
Never had problems, either resource-wise or worm/virus/trojan wise.
F-Secure unbraided their asshole some time back and now their client doesn't hog up system resources. Seems to keep one safe. Of course I get a free license through work, so :noob:
No idea if its resource-saving or not relative to competitors but I also use this because of it being both free and non-invasive. Never had a problem with it.Quote:

I have Avast. Never got a virus (and my computer is in pretty good shape after 4+ years), so... :o
