I have used this AVG. It has just been upgraded to 7.5:
http://www.download.com/AVG-Anti-Virus-Free-Edition/3000-2239_4-10320142.html
It does take at least 45 minutes to run the scan and their can be hang ups with the updates on some computers, but the program is a good one. If the upgrades hang up, close it out and go to the main site to update.

AVG and the free version works quite well. Recommended by Kim Kommando and I use it with no complaints. I actually dumped Norton's in favor of it because I had problems with Norton's (being a huge resource hog was just one of them).

For basic security required by personal users, you require ONE anti-virus, ONE firewall and at least TWO anti-spyware. I have given the links to the best you can have for free, in each category. Get them all.
AVG(Download this : avg75free_432a904.exe): http://free.grisoft.com/doc/5390/lng/us/...
a-squared Free(Download a-squared FREE): http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/down...
Windows Defender(only for genuine Windows XP): http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/detai...
Comodo Personal Firewall: http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/...
To activate the real-time protection of Windows Defender, go to Tools > Options and tick 'Use Real Protection'. In case you don't have genuine Windows, you can use Spyware Terminator as a good substitute to Windows Defender.

Here are some security tips:
1.Never use more than one anti-virus or firewall. There is a good possibility that they will fight each other. However, you can use as many anti-spywares as you wish, provided you use the real-time protection of only one of them.
2.Always keep the real-time scanning of your anti-virus and any one of your anti-spyware active. This feature always runs in the background and scans every file before it is opened, warning you if the file has any attached malware to it. Real-time scanning is known by different names for different security software, so don’t get confused. The most popular ones are ‘Real-time protection’, ‘Resident shield’, ‘Virus / Spyware Guard’ etc.
3.Keep all your security software updated, and manually scan your computer for spyware every 4-5 days and for viruses every 8-10 days. Most security software imply the use of automatic daily scanning, which is unnecessary and slows down the computer.

Antivir is the one I use. It has an option to buy an upgrade, but I've never had to do it and use it and Spybot Search & Destroy and have no problems with my computer.
