I used Kaspersky once and it slowed my already snail like machine to far less than snails pace.  But the main problem was getting rid of it when I had had enough of watching the paint dry.  It would NOT go away!  It was soooo like AOL you might have thought they were invented by the same person!  Tenticles everywhere.  We eventually (IT son and son-in-law) decided a clean install was the only way, so I had the onerous job of trying to get all my documents backed up - it took DAYS!
I use AVG free. No problems so far, that's 4 years now.
Always have been, always will be, a WYSIWYG - black is black, white is white - no grey in my life! But I'm mellowing in my old age

AVG free, has done a good job so far, found several things immediately the kids brought in by clickling on links on MSN.
CCleaner for spyware and general tidying, it's really fast. I used to have Avast, adaware , spybot and spydoctor and all slowed the system to a near halt, useless. :&>

Wish I'd known that a couple of years ago!
