Free virus protection programs: worth the risk versus the ones you pay for?

You know, after griping that no one was answering your question, it might be nice to come in here and let someone know if their suggestions helped. Especially since I see you have been on a few times since I posted.

You do realize that SuperAntiSpyware does not check for viruses so you are only protected from spyware.

If you want free go either Microsoft Security Essentials or Panda Cloud. If you are going to pay for it go kaspersky

Knowledge:
A+ cert
Network cert
Terp10 cert
System manger for 200+ computers
16 years in the field
Deal with over 100,000 infected computers every year

yeah, i know that. microsoft security essentials. but it's never found any viruses on me & i only run it once in a while. i don't go anywhere but here & my work sites. i'm a safe internet driver.
