At my various clients, I have somewhere over a hundred computers to maintain. Viruses show up primarily from someone clicking on infected email, or going to a dangerous web site. Other computers have been infected from outside by a malware that invaded that computer which had no antivirus

I switched back to Mac in 2008, but I have a Windows XP and a Windows Vista machine, both of which run Microsoft's free Security Essentials anti-malware product. It works very well in terms of both catching malware and not hogging the processor and RAM.
