I like AVG myself. Would highly recommend it.

ClamWin
was actually pretty decent until they did an update to the app & when applied, it locked up the system I had it on... Shortly afterwards, a few people brought their sytems back to me for the same reason & I uninstalled it.. Think it was a bork on their behalf & they didn't fix it until about a week later.. I moved everyone over to Avast since.
I have an edition of Kaspersky installed on my system, but it's the pro version(which can't be beat). You can get a personal edition for FREE
Here if you trust AOL.

I agree with dicecca112, AntiVir is nice, pretty lean and updated daily. I keep it at max heuristic's and it pretty much catches everything.

I'm using avast on my VIsta Ultimate machine and have no complaints so far. Seems to work a lot like Norton to me and that's what I was used to.

But Avast always seemed to be updated allot more frequently to me than Norton. Sometimes I have seen Avast updated twice a day where norton is weekly for the most part unless a serious issue comes around. I like up to the minute protection.
Also: Dice and Illum... Nice to see some familiar faces here!
