AVG Antivirus. Its not only free, it found viruses on my computer that McAfee and Norton couldn't find. I've used AVG for 4 years and haven't had a virus problem since then.

In independent testing of AV programs Kaspersky was found to be the best AV program. This website has the results of the testing.

Everyone is going to say something diferent from personal experance.
here are several sites that compare results of each scanner.
i personally like Kaspersky too even if its geared towards the advanced user.

Bitdefender 10 edition is the best. Choose not the cheapest version.

AVG Free is a very good free antivirus and I would recommend it to anyone.

Norton Corporate Antivirus. Expensive, but you did ask what was best.

Personally I think Kaspersky. Nod-32, Stop-Sign, in that order.
