All of these are ones that I personally use and all are free.After you install any of them,make sure you update them to get the full affect.
AVG Removes I-Worm/Stration · BackDoor.Generic3.GBB and .GBC · Worm/Generic.FX · Exploit.WMF

Spybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free, so there's no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer.

I use Avast. It has saved me from infected files that others didn't told me about. And it updates daily.
I used Norton and AVG in the past, but they didn't give me good results as my computer always got viruses, although they where always updated.
Don't know about Anti-vir nor AOI.
Hope this helps.

Any anti virus is good, it's reliability is up to the computer user to ensure that the AV they have is correctly updated, and they don't download from P2P sites, nor open email attachments from unknown senders.

I would go with AVG but that is a personal opinion.
