McAfee is my primary antivirus program.

I also use Spybot and Ad-Aware to augment McAfee.

I run the latter pair at least once a week, and the McAfee anti-virus scan once every three weeks - McAfee is enabled and running constantly in the background, and is set up for automatic updates.

I check for updates for Spybot and Ad-Aware before I run them.

The key to anti-virus programs is to keep them current with the latest updates on viruses.

There is also the issue of Firewalls.

I do not use the default MS products, IE and Outlook [Express], either; their security holes are the primary targets of many viruses as StuBear pointed out.

YMMV.
