Lot of independent security experts admit to not using Anti Virus. They say at best Anti Virus might prevent a infection. In most cases those infection could easily be prevented by a educated user.

I guess for me I use Security Essentials for basic protection but focus more on safe web use for real protection. I do not believe people need to spend a lot on big bulky security suites.
