I currently use Avira, and so far it's worked pretty well. Any criticisms? Obviously I like it for it's price as well, and I barely web browse on the PC I use it on, but I am almost constantly connected online, so any recommendations would be appreciated.

BitDefender - AV Comodo - Firewall. That should do it

I don't currently use AV, i just encrypt anything important and maintain a protected network.
However at work the only product i would ever install on a computer is NOD32..

That's pretty much what I do, very careful, go to no questionable sites (do most of my browsing on my mac) and then AV on top. Not flush with money at the moment, so I go cheap. Unfortunately cheap probably isn't the safest.

There are some great free AV's out there the 3 best ones are Avira, avast! and Microsoft Security Essentials all of these will give you good protection and all have good detection rates. Choosing between these 3 will come down to personal preference and how will they perform on your pc. A good site that runs AV tests is http://www.av-comparatives.org/
