AVG is a decent anti-virus (I use it myself) and it does have real-time protection. that being said, it is not the best out there in terms of detection; Kaspersky is, but it's not free.
For AVG Free, go to http://free.grisoft.com
For Kaspersky, go to http://www.kaspersky.com
Another good free anti-virus is Avast. Get it at http://www.avast.com
There are other good free anti-virus programs out there as well, but AVG and Avast are the most popular. As for Kasperaky, if you want the same detection for free and have (or want) an AOL email address, AOL Safety Center uses the Kaspersky engine and signature files.

Actually AVG, and AVAST, are both very good for being free. I tend to prefer Avast, but AVG is fine.

Maximum PC still rates it as a must have in any PC tool kit. See November 2006. They also recommend A-Squared also free and good at trojans and worms. Here're the download sites:
http://free.grisoft.com and www.emisoft.com/en/software/free/
Bear Bottoms lists a couple of more free antivir's too. He likes AOL. You can get links from: http://bearbottoms1.com/
I use linux and don't worry about viri!
