In your opinion, what is the best antivirus software for Windows 7? What antivirus software do you use to protect your computer?

I am using Kaspersky Internet Security 2011. I have been using Kaspersky since 2005. From Windows XP and now using Windows 7, I still believe that Kaspersky is the best antivirus software that able to protect my computer and help me fight against the viruses very well.

Why I choose Kaspersky? First, it is light and does not use a lot of resources to run. Second, I can adjust the settings (advanced settings) and set it what I want. Third, it is compatible to run together with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware without having any problem. Lastly, because Datuk Lee Chong Wei and Jackie Chan are their ambassador (just kidding).

But yup, if you asked me what is the best antivirus software for Windows, I will say Kaspersky. How about you?
