Electrum!! Don't need to d/l the whole block and automatically generates 8 addresses for you, always a good idea to have more than 1 when receiving payments.

What do you find confusing about them more specifically, I can probably help, as I was a bit confused initially also. Would running Norton anti-v catch most keystroke loggers? What is two factor auth.

Bitcoin-QT and blockchain. I find wallets very confusing though.
What do you find confusing about them more specifically, I can probably help, as I was a bit confused initially also. Will Norton anti-virus software detect keystroke loggers? what is dual auth.?

I wouldn't want to depend on it for any amount of money that would be devastating to lose. What is two factor auth.
Generally it is authorization that is based on both "something you know" (first factor), such as a password and "something you have" (second factor) such as a Yubikey or Google Authenticator running on a smartphone. If someone guesses or discovers your password, they can't use it to authenticate since they don't also have your YubiKey or smartphone. If someone steals your Yubikey or smartphone, they can't use it to authenticate since they don't also know your password. Note, it is important not to write your password on your Yubikey, or store it on your smartphone, since then anyone who steals it will have both factors.

If not norton,than how can someone feel confident a keystroke-logger infection has not happened? Thank-you for your response.

I've been using multibit. I started with bitcoin qt but got sick of waiting for it to sync so I gave multibit a try. It has served it's purpose so I've had no need to try anything else.

I'm using Bitcoin-Qt, Litecoin-Qt and Feathercoin-Qt but like others said, Bitcoin-Qt is taking up so much disk space. Will have to find an online account...

So which wallet are people using?
I know there's the "official" Bitcoin-Qt, but also Electrum, Armory, MultiBit, etc. So far, I've been using Qt but am getting annoyed at the transaction fees I have been paying to send BTC.
Any suggestions, and please give a reason. Thanks!
I was using electrum for day to day transactions, but recently switched to multibit. Multibit seems to handle multiple wallets better.

I use blockchain however there are so many stories around here about lost funds that I'm starting to think that I better go with cold storage on hard drive.

I use Electrum.
Electrum is a very good, newbie friendly client. It doesn't require to download the whole blockchain to your computer, because it talks to dedicated Electrum servers, not to the P2P network. On the other hand, the private keys that are needed to handle your transactions never leave your computer, so the servers can't steal your money. It also has some useful command line functionality for quick queries or for writing scripts.
