I am a gamer and selecting an antivirus +antispyware for me presents a unique situation. I want something good +light +easy to disable while gaming. I mean completely disable.
I am also running comodo firewall as of now.

Wat are my choice. I dont mind paying paid or free stuff.

Regards.

Kaspersky Antivirus- which includes both antivirus and antispyware. Also it is not a resource hog.

NOD32 Dude, nothing else. Consumes very very little mem, takes no CPU power and doesn't slows HDD ops a bit! It rocks!! And its virus detection ratio is awesome!!! i just love it on my Vista lappy. :)

Avast is good.. but not good enough to protect you computer..

I prefer NOD32.. thats all... And regularly scan my PC using Ad-Aware and Spybot.

These are enough I gues..

+1 for NOD32.....It has very very low system usage
and you can try SpyBot or Windows Defender as an AntiSpywae

Do not use AVG or avast......
