I use Avast Free and sometimes I run a scan with Spybot - Search & Destroy, a free spyware detector.
It's incredible how many threats can be found on a Windows machine!

I use Norton 360 v2. In the DOS era I sort of admired the Norton brand but as someone pointed out that is gradually eroding with the Symantec brand. My experience is that N360v2 is not quite resource intensive and I did not notice significant slowdown, but I'm not too much impressed either.
But it did corrupt the jscript.dll on my Vista and causes IE7 and Vista sidebar widgets to malfunction. I needed to do a system file checking manually to fix but that was not a great deal so long that can be fixed.

I have used both Avast and Zonealarm for AV and they seem quite different to me. (I don't like ZoneAlarm but really like Avast).
