KIS 2009, and glad.
Despite being 'careful' i recently opened up my router to DMZ to my gaming PC while hosting a far cry 2 server. Within 15 minutes (bad luck i guess) i'd had several virus/work attacks from chinese IP's, mostly the "helkern" worm.
Without kaspersky covering my ass, even with being 'careful' with files, it'd be too late and my systems would be screwed right now.
edit: adding some information that i've found from other AV's recently.
Nod32: used to be my AV.has problems with P2P applications, including games. I know i was unable to play company of heroes with it running, and Utorrent recently released fixes to try and work around nod32's odd behaviour.
AVG: You know... i end up removing this from a lot of PC's. It finds *lots* of false positives. On several new game releases, and program releases i tend to see people complaining about viruses - in the end they're all AVG users and they have to wait for an update to fix it. A good antivirus program never gets a false positive.
acctualy the it was smart security that had the main issue, its EASY to fix, as to the problem with nod32 AV only, IF you use web filtering( i dont ) you just put the apps you dont want filtered like utorrent into an exception, takes a few seconds like maby 5 clicks total.
AVG is HORRIBLE, Avast is better(infact the curent version seems damn decent for free), avira antivir is nice to if you want free.
as to god av never getting faulse positives, not quite true, but they are RARE
see KIS and NOD32 will see a few things as FP's like some game trainers and some mod tools because alot of trogens use the same keyloger/monitor to do their thing as these apps use to capture your hotkey clicks.
nod32 and kis have both marked ligit apps as viruses, like Hitman pro getting hit by kis reacently
happens to everybody at times, its how quick they fix their fuckups, AVG wont unflag an app in my exp, it at one point was detecting crossover (linux/mac app that lets u run windows apps easly on mac/linux os's) as a infected.....annoyed me to no end :/
