Going away on tour soon, so I am looking to get a good program for virus protection. Do you guys have any input that would be helpful? What do you guys use? Did you pay for it or just download off a torrent site, Thanks all!

I pay for it. I use Spyware Doctor with Virus add-on. I also use Registry Mechanic and both were purchased as a package from PC tools.
The BEST way to avoid virus's that i have found is to use a different operating system. I ran Ubuntu on my last laptop, and am thinking about downloading it on to my new one as well. Its a FREE Linux based operating system, thats pretty damn user friendly. I had firefox browser, and Open Office word processing (Also free) and according to my IT guy, virus's are practically non existent for Linux, because its a pain to write em.
Trend Micro is pretty good. Have to pay for it once a year, but it works.
Whatever you do, don't get Norton. Every computer I've had it on; something goes seriously wrong.

I just changed to the MS security essentials when I installed Window 7, probably not the best, but very small footprint and I don't download things from sites with poor reputations. I Also use no script on my Firefox.
Abstinence.
Never used virus protection, I don't download/click random stuff...
Avast. Their new version is even better and lighter on the resources.
AVG 9.0 Free edition..works nice. I like AVAST for a paid version.
avg free is the best, imo.
Snow leopard
I use AVG the paid version on all 8 of my machines.
Anyone who says they are running nothing and have never had a problem are either lying or extremely lucky. In todays world without a good firwall and at least some virus protection you are vulnerable. I used to not run anything but with the sophistication of the hackers today it is just not worth running without something.
