I like AOL Active Virus Shield. Don't let the name AOL fool you. Active Virus Shield is made by Kaspersky which is one of top-rated anti-virus vendors in the world.
In recent tests, the most popular free anti-virus, AVG, was only able to detect about 82% of a very large sample of viruses. On the other hand, Active Virus Shield was able to detect better than 99% in the same test.
Full test chart is here:

Active Virus Shield has excellent virus detection rates and is extremely light on using your computer resources. (6mb ram)
AVS detects and removes spyware, also.
And it updates 12 to 15 times a day with new virus definitions, 7 days a week.
Free for everyone from:

They call it AVG (anti virus guard)
keep checking out the links until
you find the free version.
It's there, but they don't make it obvious.
Works great.
Updates itself.
Easy to use.
When ever you want to manually check
a suspicious file, simply right click and
then left click on the AVG link listed in
the drop down menu.

Fast/Medium speed computer - Avast! Antivirus (http://www.avast.com)
Slow computer - AVG Antivirus (http://www.grisoft.com).
Either is good. If you're careful you really don't need a virus scanner at all though :)
