Avast! It be the best software out thar, me matey! And it be free!
Seriously, I have a friend who works in IT, he can't recommend Avast enough. I switched from Norton and couldn't be happier. Of course, I also have a linux netbook, so that has nothing on it.

i use avast and malwarebytes together. Avast stop every bloody thing thats tries to get across and Malwarebytes scans and picks up the leftovers. Fantastic combo!
Thread instantly attracts egotistical linux users.
*sigh*
You should not feel the need to BRAG about not needing virus protection, Because its linux that does it. Not you.
I use mcafee on my desktop, Norton on my laptop. Superantispyware on both, I would have norton on the desktop, but mcafee was free with the computer.
Never had any problems with viruses in ever.

None, most antivirus "products" are as bad or worse than viruses. They make changes to your computer without your permission, they hog system resources when you are trying to do something else, and they prevent legitimate operations because they can't be configured properly.
Use firefox w/ adblock (ad servers are a major infection vector for browser exploits), don't run suspicious executables, and if you are paranoid occasionally run wireshark to sniff the traffic coming out of your machine during idle states.
Modern viruses try to add you to botnets so they are usually very polite to avoid detection.

I use to use Norton Antivirus on my old computer but that's a virus itself, I also use to use Spybot Search and Destroy (think that's what it was called)
