Avast Home (love free stuff)
I'm also amazed at the updates, sometimes multiple viral database updates per day.
Also use MS Antispyware.
And I use a hardware firewall (my modem/router is rather nice).

Hardware Firewall
ZoneAlarm with Antivirus
I will never more use Symantec "Condom.dll" or anything else from
this Softwarehouse. Very unreliably, self-willed and gladly times
the system destroys

Dev1 (my dev machine): CA Antivirus (newest) + ZoneAlarm 5.5 (old version, latest causes severe troubles)
Stk3 (my parents): AntiVir Free (CA was causing too many troubles on this machine in combination with ZoneAlarm) + ZoneAlarm (newest)
Serv1 (music hoster and gateway): Kerio Personal Firewall (some old version) + CA Antivirus (newest)
Laptop3 (my old company laptop): CA + ZA (both newest, the machine is a bit slow but not really an issue)
Laptop4 (my wife's): CA+ZA
Laptop5 (my new company laptop): Windows Firewall (nothing else yet, but it will probably be ZA5.5 + AntiVir Free or CA + ZA5.5, I guess)

AVG and ZoneAlarm, both latest versions used on all computers with no problems.

Unfortunately, the latest versions of both ZA and CA Antivirus cause the performance of your computer to go way down. Anybody else suffer the same issues with these two products?

The newest version uses Kaspersky and no longer CA, but you are right, the computer become slower

For anti-virus I used to use AVG Free edition and liked it except that its alerts would automatically time-out and disappear before I could read them, a "feature" you couldn't turn off, so I switched to Avast Home about 18 months ago and have been happy with it.
For anti-spyware I used to use Ad-Aware but after years of bugs and flaws with no updates to fix them, so I switched to Spybot Search & Destroy about six months ago and have been happy with it. Also tried Microsoft's Denfender but gave up on it when I could not get it to do automatic update checks.
For firewall software, I just use the one that comes with Windows XP. Tried Zone Alarm back when it was free as well as a hardware firewall as part of a router and both seemed to create more problems than they solved.

The ZoneAlarm I'm using is the free one, with no problems, I did get the whole suite but as has been pointed out it does hog the system, a lot like Norton, so I went back to the free one.

Ad-aware and Microsoft Antivirus! I run both in case one doesn't catch something the other one will!
