I'd go with Kaspersky.

Go download NOD32, only one you will ever have to use.

Linux. :)

If you must use a win OS, then I'd say ClamWin. Free, Open Source.

avast home protection, its free. it detects everything from trojans to viruses, and lets you delete them immediately without any harm.

I use Antivirus guard.

Avast is good and free, but I've found that Kaspersky provides the best value for a Windows System because it provides services that you'd have to get separately from other vendors (file protection, application activity monitoring and application guard). Basically, I don't trust a lot of other AV's because the possibility that the AV system itself could be compromised to allow threats to pass through is quite high. Kaspersky does a great job of preventing that as well has having a decent signature-based detection system. Prevention vs. detection & removal. You get it all. I'm pretty paranoid about security, though, so take my advice however you want. :tup:

Kapersky and NOD32

Norton is too much of a memory eater
McAfee sucks
ZoneAlarm is soso
