Had been using norton for years but I recently switched to Avast. Haven't noticed much of a difference, it detected some illegal code (not virus) that norton didn't other than that, nothing much different.

Seriously, haven't had any spyware or virus warnings for the last year or so. Reckon, as long as one sticks to "decent" webpages and has a good firewall, it wouldn't be a prob to run without anti-v and antispyware.
But Guess we're all a bit paranoid and use the programs anyways.
