I'm using Microsoft Security Essentials (real-time protection enabled), Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, and SUPERAntiSpyware.

And no, I'm not using them at once. Only MSE is running in real-time.

Is it enough?

AV software is pretty useless if you're smart with what you're doing.

Don't download shady files
Turn on file extensions (so you don't fall for 'image.jpg.exe')
Sandboxie EVERYTHING.

ESET NOD 32. Best antivirus IMO. Not resource consuming, minimum alerts, no security breaches, always up to date. I simply love it.

Avast is absolutely fantastic, and is free for home use. I used to like Norton years ago, but it became serious bloatware. McAfee and AVG aren't bloat, but kinda suck (AVG gives way too many false positives).

I don't use any anti-virus at all because they're annoying and dumb, and I've never gotten a virus for 2-3 years now. I even turned off my Windows Firewall because it's really annoying when it comes to hosting a server on your computer like port forwarding and etc. But I do use an anti-virus app called "avast! Mobile Security" for my smartphone. And if I did want to use an anti-virus for my computer, I would go with "avast!", AVG, and Malwarebytes.

Durex featherlite should be goo...........................................................oh right, my bad!

I don't know anything about MSE. I've used Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and it started blocking certain permissions from games I was playing. So I've been using AVG free edition for the past 6 months and it's kept my PC safe and sound.

Simple answer: AV Test or AV Comparatives

FYI, MSE is the worst AVP out there.

I've been using Avast Antivirus, Microsoft Security Essentials, and the Online Armor firewall on my laptop computer. Although its only an AMD dual core 2.9 GHz with Radeon Graphics, already had it for an while. I can play Rage and Metro 2033 on my laptop belive it or not.

Probably will be deleted. First delete them manually and then uninstall NOD32.

The winning formula is Avira + Privatefirewall.
Avira detects something like 99.7% of all malware and Privatefirewall is an intrusion detection system.
Both are free and lightweight.

Yeah, but they should integrate it to the context menu, or how is it called. You know, when you right-click on a file and menu will pop-up. There wasn't any "scan this file" in it... But maybe they updated it already.
